FAQ

Common questions.

Does it work on Android?

Yes. Criba is on Google Play for Android phones, with the same gestures, On This Day, the map, the calendar and on-device analysis. No accounts and no ads, just like on iPhone.

Is anything deleted without my confirmation?

No. Swiping left only sends the photo to Criba's trash. Only when you tap “Delete” and accept the system confirmation do they move to Recently Deleted in Photos (iPhone) or the gallery's trash (Android), where they stay recoverable for 30 days.

Do my photos leave my device?

No. Criba has no server and no accounts. The only things that leave the device are a photo's coordinates when you ask for a place name (Apple Maps on iPhone, Google on Android), the purchase receipt when you go Pro (Apple or Google, and RevenueCat), and anonymous usage statistics and crash reports, with nothing from your photos, which you can turn off in Settings (TelemetryDeck and Sentry). On Android, the map and the analysis also use Google services: the privacy policy has the details.

Does it work with iCloud Photos?

Yes. Criba uses the version already on your iPhone whenever it looks good, and only downloads a screen-sized copy from iCloud when needed (you'll see a progress ring); iOS frees it up when it needs the space. Deleting a photo removes it from iCloud too, just like the Photos app would. On Android, Criba works with the photos in your phone's gallery, and what you delete goes, after the system confirmation, to the gallery's trash, where it stays for 30 days.

Does it work offline?

Yes. With no signal, Criba shows what’s already on your phone, in good quality; on iPhone, without trying to download anything from iCloud. Once you’re back online, everything’s there again.

What happens in shared albums?

In a shared album, swiping left removes the photo from the album instead of deleting it, since it may not be yours.

What does the free plan include?

On This Day, exploring your library and deleting are always free. There's a daily limit on reviewing photos; Criba Pro removes it with a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.

Sort your iPhone photos with a swipe.

Five minutes a day and your library is yours again.
