NEW • Write metadata into your files — export copies with your creator, copyright, caption, keywords and location embedded directly in the image. Pixels are never re-encoded. • Privacy Scrub — strip every trace of metadata, or just the GPS, before you share. Free for single photos. • Library Pulse — scan your whole Photos library, free, to see geotag coverage, camera history and how many photos are missing copyright or keywords. Everything is analyzed on device. • Recipe Library — save the film simulation, picture style or photographic style from any photo and browse your collection. • Suggest keywords from the image itself, using on-device analysis. • AI Focus Check in Compare — score frames and see which one is strongest before you commit. • Histogram and a location map in the metadata inspector. • Location Timeline in Analytics — see where you've been shooting. • Free users now get 10 real metadata edits before upgrading. FIXED • Metadata edits are now saved. Previously the Studio showed a success message without keeping your changes — we're sorry, and it's fixed. • Clearing filters now genuinely restores your full library. • Layout fixes on smaller iPhones where labels and exposure values could render unreadably. • The Recipe Library is now reachable on iPhone, and sheets on iPad can always be closed. • Pro subscribers can reach subscription settings again to manage or restore a purchase. • EV and exposure compensation are now labelled correctly — they were showing the same value. • Scout no longer suggests distant places as being near your photo. • Faster library loading and lower memory use during scans.

MetaPhoto 2.0 makes the full photo review workflow faster, cleaner, and more reliable. This update improves importing, library browsing, thumbnail loading, metadata review, Scout planning, analytics, comparison, and delivery exports. Metadata Studio is more resilient with unusual image files, Delivery Copilot handles package prep more smoothly, and export/share actions now recover better when a recipe card, overlay, contact sheet, or sidecar cannot be generated. It also includes layout refinements for larger screens and general stability improvements across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

MetaPhoto 1.6 introduces Delivery Copilot, a new Pro workflow for preparing shoots before sharing or archiving. Review metadata readiness, mark selects and rejects, fix missing fields, and generate polished delivery packages with reports, XMP sidecars, contact sheets, and recipe assets. This update also brings a refreshed dark workspace, improved Library, Studio, Compare, and Analytics views, better iPad and large-screen layouts, smoother importing, safer exports, and clearer Pro upgrade paths throughout the app.

MetaPhoto has a cleaner pro-dark workspace built for faster photo review. This update adds a richer Home dashboard, a redesigned Library with photo-grid browsing and inspector details, easier importing from Photos or Files, expanded Metadata Studio tools for IPTC editing, presets, XMP sidecars, and batch cleanup, plus a stronger Compare workspace with side-by-side, overlay, swipe review, metadata deltas, and shoot-review summaries. Analytics now surfaces more useful camera, lens, recipe, location, ISO, focal length, and time-of-day trends, with private library reports and improved export packages for Pro users. This version also includes paywall/legal-link improvements, better pricing fallback states, smoother thumbnail/image handling, and stability fixes for larger imports.

New Pricing Structure MetaPhoto has been redesigned with a faster, more focused experience. This update adds a new home dashboard, a dedicated Compare workspace with side-by-side, overlay, and swipe views, richer analytics and metadata screens, better library browsing on smaller devices, more reliable imports, and a smoother upgrade experience.
