• Try it on a fictional sample ID: tap to cover the fields and see the finished copy, no documents of your own needed. The sample can't be shared and doesn't use your free export. • A redesigned share log: copies out, recipients, and acceptance at a glance, with a clear status on every entry. Tap an entry for its full details, and change or clear an answer you recorded by mistake. • Templates rechecked against published rules and official guidance. The payment platform and app developer templates now cover nothing, and they and the crypto exchange template no longer add a watermark, so use each service's own upload flow. The landlord, tenant background check, employment background check, utility, car-share, and Generic templates now keep your photo visible. Generic now covers your ID number and address, and car-share your ID number. Built-in templates that cover your ID number now also cover the barcode and passport code. Proof of income and proof of address now leave email addresses and phone numbers visible. • New "Add invisible trace mark" switch on the export screen, on by default for document copies. The payment platform, crypto exchange, app developer, bank, and Form I-9 templates start with it off. With it off, the share is still logged, but that copy can't be matched back to its entry. • Importing a PDF longer than 20 pages? CoverTrace now tells you it brought in the first 20, so you can split the PDF and import the rest. • Pro: a password you copy on the "Send the password" screen isn't shared with your other devices and clears from the clipboard after 10 minutes. • Also: a template's photo cover now reads "PHOTO COVERED", a one-time tip explains your log after you export a document, and on iOS 26 CoverTrace wears its own colors.

• Your vault is now protected at the system level: documents can only be read after Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. • Works for paper too: cover the account numbers on a pay stub, bank statement, lease, or bill or a PDF with templates for proof of income and proof of address. • "All pages" covers every page of a document at once.

• Before you share, CoverTrace now checks the finished copy and tells you what's still readable. • Your documents stay hidden in the app switcher. • Stronger password-protected PDFs: six-word passphrases, and copied passphrases clear from the clipboard after a few minutes. • New setting: choose whether exporting keeps a draft on your phone. • Drafts and shared copies are protected and cleaned up more thoroughly.

• Own it outright: CoverTrace Pro now leads with a one-time Lifetime unlock, and the Annual plan starts with a 7-day free trial. • Your vault stays yours: if Pro ever ends, you can still view, export, and delete everything you stored. • Share a screenshot into CoverTrace and it now opens straight in the free screenshot cleaner — unlimited and watermark-free. • Small fixes, including renewal reminders arriving at a consistent time of day.

• Clean a screenshot before you post it — free, no watermark. Emails, account numbers, phone numbers, and other sensitive bits are detected automatically. • Pinch to zoom in the editor for precise covers — one finger draws, two fingers pan. • Tap the barcode warning to highlight the barcode it's talking about, and see what's stored inside it. • New in your share log: an exposure view of what each recipient's copy can still see. • Told a recipient would keep your copy for 30, 60, or 90 days? CoverTrace can follow up when that time is up, and log their answer. • The photo scan is much better at ignoring photos that aren't IDs or cards — receipts, packages, and group photos stay out of your results. • Your encrypted documents now live in one clearly named place: the Vault. • Sending a locked PDF? A new safety net makes sure you never close the password screen without saving the password somewhere first. • Fixed: pages in password-protected PDFs could appear mirrored. Plus faster rescans and lots of small polish.

• Photo Scan now checks your entire photo library, not just your most recent photos — and it's resumable, so you can switch away and come back while it finishes. • New "Clear suggestions" control in the editor to hide the auto-detected boxes when you want an unobstructed view of your document. • Refinements and small fixes throughout.
