Arrow is a second camera for practical photos. Use Arrow for receipts, labels, whiteboards, work photos, and quick references without mixing them into your Camera Roll. Choose where each photo saves before you shoot: keep it in Unfiled, or capture straight into an album. Inside Arrow, you can review photos, move them between albums, share them with the native iOS share sheet, or delete them when you no longer need them. Stash is now Arrow. If you used Stash Camera before, your existing photos remain in the app. Older Stash Vault photos remain reviewable through the existing local Vault path, and older temporary photos can be reviewed and moved to Unfiled or an album. Arrow stores photos locally inside the app on your iPhone. There is no account, no ads, and no cloud photo library. This update does not add cloud backup, active auto-delete, new Arrow encrypted storage, Camera Roll saving by default, or saved location metadata.
