## What is Smile & Tap?

Smile & Tap instantly hides the faces in your photos, so you can share them without revealing anyone you'd rather keep private.

A triple tap on the back of your iPhone opens your latest photo with every face already covered by a smiley. Reveal the ones you want with a single tap, keep the others protected, then share the copy. The original never changes.

HOW IT WORKS
• Tap the back of your iPhone three times, or pick a photo.
• Your iPhone finds the faces and masks them automatically. To be safe, everything is masked by default.
• Tap to reveal whoever you want, then share.

WHAT MATTERS
• 12 playful masks: smileys and animals, plus your own custom masks.
• On-device face detection, powered by your iPhone's chip.
• GPS location removed from the shared copy.
• Your original always stays intact: a new image is created.

100% PRIVATE, 100% ON-DEVICE
• No photo is ever sent to the Internet.
• No account, no server.
• No ads, no trackers.
Your memories stay yours.

FREE, THEN UNLIMITED
Protect 10 photos for free. For unlimited use, a single purchase is all it takes, no subscription.

Whether it's your kids, a face in the background, or someone who'd rather stay private, Smile & Tap is the simplest, fastest way to share your photos without showing faces.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-06

New: hide a face with blur or pixelation

• Blur and Pixelate, two new free masks. Instead of covering the face with a
  sticker, they rework the photo itself, until no recognisable detail is left.

• A quicker start. Nothing to set up before you begin: mask your first photo
  right away, and the triple tap on the back of your iPhone can wait until you
  actually want it.

• A reminder at the right moment. Once you've protected your first photo, the
  home screen offers the shortcut, just as its point becomes obvious.

• A clearer tutorial. It now shows where to get Apple's Shortcuts app if it
  isn't on your iPhone.
