When you leave the camera screen and come back to it, the camera can show up rotated sideways by 90 degrees, even though the phone is being held upright. Videos recorded in this state also come out sideways. How to reproduce: open the camera (especially in video mode), record a video or just stay on the camera screen for a moment, switch to another part of the app (like your albums or settings), then return to the camera. The preview appears rotated on its side, and recordings made afterwards are saved sideways too. Expected: the camera preview and any recorded videos should always match the way the phone is actually being held. This happens even when the phone is held vertically the entire time. Restarting the app fixes it until it happens again.

Add more sorting option inside albums especially by size to manage larger and duplicate files. Also by name would be good.

Add the ability to loop videos infinitely. The user should be able to select this option while playing the video and select looping by default in the settings view.

It would be great to be able to create albums inside other albums in order to properly sort photos

In the camera interface, allow exposure adjustment by tapping and sliding the finger up/down to over/under expose the image, as one can do in the native iOS Camera app

It should be possible to sort albums (i.e., by date of import, date of media creation, file size, file name, etc.) Furthermore, it would be great to be able to see metadata from the files (when, and where were the media created?)

Summary Add a tagging system that allows users to assign multiple tags to photos and videos, enabling a single item to be associated with multiple categories. Additionally, support nested/hierarchical tags for advanced organization. User Report A user finds the current single-album-per-photo structure limiting and would like the ability to tag media so that items can appear under multiple organizational categories without duplication. Current Behavior Photos and videos can only belong to one album at a time, requiring users to choose a single category for each item. Requested Behavior Core Tagging Allow users to create custom tags Enable assigning multiple tags to any photo or video Provide a way to browse/filter media by tag A single photo could then logically belong to multiple groupings (e.g., "Family," "Vacation," "2024") without needing to duplicate the file Tag Nesting (Advanced) Support hierarchical tag structures (e.g., "Travel > Europe > France") Keep this feature unobtrusive for users who prefer simple organization Allow power users to create detailed taxonomy systems for their media Use Cases Organizing photos that fit multiple categories (e.g., a photo that is both "Work" and "Receipts") Creating detailed organizational hierarchies for large collections Filtering media by multiple criteria simultaneously

Summary Add support for animated GIF playback within Encamera so that imported GIF files play their animation rather than displaying as static images. User Report A user on iPad imported GIF files from their Photos app into Encamera and found that the GIFs do not animate/play. They appear as static images instead. Current Behavior GIF files can be imported into Encamera, but they display as still images without animation. Requested Behavior GIF files should play their animation when viewed within the Encamera vault, maintaining the same animated playback experience users expect from their original gallery.

The app currently only allows importing photos through the library view, which sorts photos chronologically by their original file date. This creates a significant usability issue when importing photos from other apps (like Keepsafe exports) that retain their original metadata dates, as these photos become scattered throughout the library and are nearly impossible to locate and select. Users need the ability to import photos from iOS's album view (Collections in iOS 16+) instead, which would enable them to efficiently select photos from "Recently Saved," "Starred," or custom albums where newly exported photos are grouped together, regardless of their original file dates. Key points: Enable import from album/collection view in addition to library view Allow users to select photos from system albums like "Recently Saved" or "Starred" Support importing from custom user-created albums Solve the issue of chronologically-sorted photos being difficult to locate when they have old metadata dates

I’d like to be able to share an album and either sync between two users devices between albums or cloud or whatever. Also maybe only make the user that uploads allowed to remove or move a photo that they contribute.

Current Behavior User films video in portrait orientation User attempts to AirPlay video to television App rotates the video content but keeps portrait mode dimensions Result: Stretched, sideways video with poor visual quality Expected Behavior Portrait videos should properly adapt to landscape television display Video should maintain correct aspect ratio without stretching Content should be properly oriented and scaled for optimal TV viewing experience Proposed Solution Implement proper aspect ratio handling for AirPlay functionality that: Detects when portrait videos are being AirPlayed to landscape displays Automatically adjusts video orientation and scaling appropriately Maintains video quality and proper proportions on the target display Provides seamless transition between device and AirPlay viewing

Files that are well ordered by, e.g. file name, are disordered upon import. One solution would be preserving additional file information (filename, timestamps, etc) and enabling ordering on that information. Another solution would be to queue the import process. This would be a little slower than a fully async process but result in a better outcome.

Create a control center widget that allows users to quickly take pictures using the camera without authentication. This will provide a way for users to snap a picture or start recording a video in a write-only way.

Allow changing the zoom level on the album grid, so the behavior is similar to the native Photos app.

When importing, especially large amounts of media, there are some issues that degrade the experience of using the app: Improve app performance while encryption is happening Allow background encryption of media, even when phone is locked The user should be able to view the import progress anywhere in the app, and should be able to manage it (cancel, pause, restart) through this UI.

Provide users with a secure method to reset the Encamera app to its factory state (i.e., wipe all data including encrypted content and settings), without requiring a password, in case of lockout. Use Case A user forgets their password. They want to regain access to the app but are willing to forfeit all stored content. Reinstalling the app does not remove data due to persistent storage mechanisms (e.g., iCloud Keychain, on-device secure storage). 3.1 Secure Erasure Trigger Mechanism: Offer an option on the app lock screen, such as: Reset App (Erase All Data) Require a secondary confirmation prompt: "This will erase all your data and cannot be undone. Proceed? Data Deletion Scope Erase all: App-specific files stored in Application Support and Documents Secure storage items (e.g., Keychain, NSUserDefaults, CoreData) iCloud drive data State Restoration After erasure: App launches as a fresh install User is prompted to set a new password No residual data or authentication tokens persist iOS Settings Integration Add support for app data deletion via iOS Settings → App Settings (where Apple provides “Delete App Data”)

Currently for users with many folders or photos, it’s not easy to view, sort and filter content. Few useful ways: View: Thumbnails List Filter: Date Type Sort: Date Type Size Nice to have: Ability to choose disabled album cover with some icons Tagging

Hi is it possible to have a function that we can create notes in Encamera (not just only photos and videos)? As I would like to save some password/dairy in security secret space. Thanks:)
