maplog is a private, friends-only map you share with the people you add. Take a photo and it lands on the map exactly where you were – automatically connected into the path of your day. Add a caption, tag friends, and see everyone’s day unfold on one shared map. • Photos placed at their real location, connected into your daily path • Friends-only – only people you add (and who add you back) can see your map • Share a path or your daily recap to Instagram or your camera roll • Ephemeral by design: friends only ever see the current day. Shots and paths are permanently deleted within about a week. If you want to keep it, share it first. Sign in with Apple. Location is used while you’re in the app to place your photos. If you turn on new place alerts, iOS visit detection lets maplog nudge you when you arrive somewhere new – those places stay on your phone, and maplog never records a trail of where you go.
