Share everyone’s photos with the whole group, in 5 minutes flat. When you’re all in one room - hotel, kitchen table, wedding venue, kid’s birthday - open Roll. Each person picks the photos they want to share. Tap Share. Everyone’s photos merge into one roll and save to every camera roll, full quality, no cloud. No accounts. No upload. No compression. The photos go straight from phone to phone. For the planner of trips. The friend who runs the group chat, books the place, and takes most of the photos. Roll fixes the β€œwait, can you send me that one of the sunset” moment for the whole group at once. Why Roll * Originals, not re-compressed copies. Full quality. * No ads, ever. No cloud. No accounts. No uploads. * One tap saves everyone’s photos to your camera roll. * Duplicates merge, so the group selfie does not multiply. * The photos you contributed are not re-saved. They are already in your library. * Nothing to set up. Open the app and the room is there. * Works with no internet and no Wi-Fi network. Phones connect directly to each other. What you need * An iPhone on iOS 16.4 or later. * A small group in the same room. * Bluetooth on, and the local network permission granted when iOS asks. What Roll is not * Not a cloud album. * Not a chat app. * Not for sharing with people who are not in the room. Every past roll stays available, with no 48-hour clock. Save past rolls to your camera roll whenever you need them. The transfer experience is identical for everyone. Premium unlocks additional capacity and access to more past rolls.

About

Whole Crew

Features

Whole Crew fixes the group photo where someone is missing because they were taking the picture. Take two photos from the same moment, or choose two from your library. Whole Crew turns them into one realistic group photo while keeping the scene, faces, clothing, lighting, and phone-camera look natural. Use Whole Crew when: - One friend or parent is behind the camera - Someone blinked or stepped out in one photo - You want one shareable group photo instead of choosing between two almost-good shots The guided camera flow helps the second photographer line up the shot with a transparent overlay from the first photo. You can also test with existing photos from your library. Whole Crew is built for one focused job: exactly two source photos from the same moment in, one natural group photo out. Whole Crew Plus is optional and unlocks full-size results, Save, Share, and Enhance after the included preview. Subscriptions and trials are managed by Apple and can be canceled from your Apple account settings.

The call
