Photo details View capture date, time, location, file information, device details, and camera metadata. Immersive viewing Tap a photo for a cleaner viewing mode with less interface distraction. Share and organize Share the current photo, or delete photos you no longer want to keep. Deletions use the standard iOS Photos confirmation flow and are written back to your system photo library.

It uses that access to browse memories, show photo information, share the current photo, or delete the selected item. The app does not upload your photos or videos.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Memory Drift at none against CamRoast's 1. Memory Drift also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). CamRoast's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
