Having trouble managing your photos and videos? MyPics is an album app that has been improving for over 10 years. MyPics organizes your photos and videos in albums (folders) and allows you to quickly hide and save data you don't want others to see with a few simple operations. Your important data is protected by a passcode, so your privacy is well protected. ## Fit for people like this - People who want to organize their photos and videos with an easy and simple app. - People who have a problem with their family or friends viewing their camera roll without their permission. - People who have too many photos and can't find the one they want to see. - People who are looking for a safe album app. ## Recommendations (1) Secure data design Photos and videos imported from the camera roll are not compressed, but the original data is saved. Exif data such as shooting date and time and location information also remain intact. No photo/video data in the app is sent to the server. (2) Passcode protection Locking the app with a passcode ensures that no one can see your important images and private videos. Passcode / Face ID / Touch ID are supported. (3) Easy importing You can import photos and videos from the Photos app in a batch. Imported photos and videos can be easily deleted with the auto-delete function. The design is also friendly, allowing users to see at a glance which photos have already been imported. (4) Folder classification in album format Photos and videos can be organized by freely creating albums. Multiple albums can be grouped into album sets for easy sorting, and you can freely sort them by date or name. (5) Dropbox support You can automatically back up imported photos and videos to Dropbox. The expert version also supports restoring data from Dropbox, making it easy to transfer data to other devices. (6) Customize to your liking You can set your favorite photo as the album cover and change the wallpaper by selecting your favorite design from more than 50 different themes. (7) Easy-to-use image viewer The size of the preview can be freely changed by pinching in/out, and videos can be played directly with the embedded player in the app. Note input function and GIF animation are also supported. (8) Calendar display support How many photos did I take this month? What did I do this time last year? You can look back on your memories from the unique perspective of a calendar. (9) Filter Camera The filter camera is equipped with a filter that applies filters in real time. Enjoy taking pictures that are different from those taken with a regular camera. (10) Photo Editor and Video Editor Photos and videos imported into the app can be quickly edited directly in the photo editor and video editor within the app. (11) File exchange with PC/Mac Original photos and videos saved in the app can be transferred to a PC using iTunes File Sharing. Data import from PC is also supported. (12) Convenient search function Photos and videos can be searched by note, tag, or file name. Map display is also supported, so you can search for photos by location. ## About the Expert Add-on The free version has limitations on the number of photos and some features, but all of them can be unlocked with the Expert Add-on, which is available for purchase in the app. - Please read our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy before registering. - Subscription is automatically renewed every year from the start date. - Renewals will be made within 24 hours before the subscription period ends. - Subscriptions will auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours prior to the end of the subscription period. - Subscriptions can be managed and cancelled in your App Store account settings. - Payment is made through your iTunes account.
