Anonymous Camera lets anonymise photos and videos in real time, locally on device. → Facial recognition and full-body anonymisation: the app can recognise faces and anonymise them either by applying a solid colour or blur. You can choose to hide either people’s whole bodies or just their face. (full-body anonymisation is only available on iPhone XS and up) → Remove metadata: users can choose to delete any and all metadata associated with the video, including time, date, and location. → Distorted audio: distort the audio track to anonymize people’s voices. → Split screen: control how much of the frame is anonymized to perform interviews while protecting your sources. → Real time processing: files are anonymized in real-time using on-device machine learning and computer vision technology, ensuring that the data is untraceable from the beginning. → Local storage: all processing and storage is done locally. Nothing ever goes to the cloud (try us and use it with flight mode enabled).

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Anonymous Camera at none against Photo Timer+'s 1. Anonymous Camera also leads on ads (none vs shown). Photo Timer+'s advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (8.4K vs 36). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
