About

Your people, on your Home Screen. Looplet gives each of your circles its own widget. Your partner's latest photo in one tile, your family's in another, the weekend crew's in a third — right on your Home Screen, without opening an app. ONE WIDGET PER LOOP A Loop is a small, private group: Us two, Family, Besties, or one you name yourself. Add a widget for each Loop in small, medium or large, and react with an emoji straight from the widget. YOU CHOOSE WHO SEES IT Looplet opens to the camera. Snap, add a line, and pick the Loops it goes to — one or a few. Only the people in those Loops see it. CIRCLES, NOT FOLLOWERS No public profile, no follower counts, no feed of strangers. Everyone starts with Just me (private, only you) and Friends, and can create Loops for the people who matter. Invite with a link or a 6-character code. REPLY YOUR WAY Swipe back through every moment in a Loop, and sideways to the next Loop. React with an emoji, send a short voice reply, or start a private chat about the photo. "Typing" and "Seen" are yours to turn off. EVENTS IN A LOOP A weekend at the beach, a birthday, your best friend's wedding: anyone in a Loop can create an event with its dates and, if you like, a place, even ahead of time. Photos sent to the Loop on those days go into the event, each credited to who took it. Everyone gets a reminder the evening before, the morning it starts and on the last day to add photos; late photos are welcome for 3 days after it ends. While an event is open, Looplet finds the photos from its days still in your library, right on your iPhone, and lets you pick a few to add. Only the ones you pick are sent. MEMORIES THAT STAY PRIVATE Looplet finds moments from your photo library on your iPhone and lays them out in a calendar. Nothing uploads unless you send it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Photos go only to the Loops you choose • Memories are found on your iPhone; contacts are never uploaded • Just me is backed up privately so it survives signing out • Block and report anyone; sensitive images are blurred on your device • Delete your account any time in the app Available in 19 languages. Requires iOS 17 or later; on iOS 18 and later, a new widget asks which Loop to show as soon as you add it.
