What were you doing on this day last year? Memory Drop quietly shows you only the photos you took on today's date in years past. On this day last year. Two years ago today. And further back still. The moments you've gathered on this same date drift softly onto the screen and settle, one by one. ■ What it feels like • Open the app, and photos from this day in past years fall in, one at a time • Double-tap a photo you love to linger over it slowly • Flick to send photos tumbling, make them bigger, or set them down wherever you like • Travel through the years — from “a day long ago” to “last year,” and back to “a day further still” ■ Favorites and notes Send the ones that stay with you to Favorites. Jot down how you felt, or what happened, as a short note. ■ Share with peace of mind When you send a memory to family or friends, choose to show or hide the date, place, people's names, pet names, and notes before you share — so nothing private slips out by accident. ■ One memory a day, in a widget Place a single “On this day” photo on your Home Screen or Lock Screen. Even without opening the app, you'll meet a memory in a quiet moment. ■ Privacy comes first • Your photos are never sent off your device • The app never changes your photo library on its own • It doesn't ask for access up front — try the demo first to get a feel for it • Limited Access is fully supported, using only the photos you choose ■ What we care about Staying light and graceful, even with tens of thousands of photos. Quietly leaving out screenshots, so you see only real memories. And always keeping your photos the star. Available in English and Japanese. In the rush of today, here's a little of “this day, back then.” Memory Drop gently brings back a day you'd forgotten.
