What's New in Skrim
1.7
July 7, 2026
We're now Skrim — same app, new us. Clean from anywhere. The Share extension now reliably saves your cleaned photos straight to your library — and works with multiple photos at once. New Save & Share buttons. From the share sheet, choose "Save" to drop cleaned copies into Photos, or "Share" to send them straight on via AirDrop, Messages, Mail, or Files. Disguise from the Share extension. Swap a photo's pixels for a decoy right where you share it — and revert to the original any time from Photos. Faster, fresher iMessage app with a refreshed look. Stability and reliability fixes across the app and extensions. Minor bug fixes. Thanks for using Skrim. Questions or ideas? We'd love to hear from you.
