Version 3.1
What’s new
Your creative library is easier to carry between devices, safer to recover and more reliable to edit.
Turn it on in Hub to keep My Presets and My Captions ready on your iPhone and iPad. Your photos and personal details stay on your device.
Save presets, captions and settings to one file you control, then restore what you need on a new or reinstalled device.
Captions keep their colour and size, text casing has three choices, and Memory Trackers can set The Big Day directly in Hub.
3D Pop and background-effect exports now use JPEG where transparency is not needed, saving space without changing the picture you see.
Inside the product
The V3 experience is organised around five focused areas, so the editing journey stays clear from import to export.

Privacy
Your photos stay yours.
Max Photo Frames is listed on the App Store as Data Not Collected. Here is what that means in practice.
Everything happens on your device
Editing, subject separation and export all run locally. Your photos are never uploaded to us.
No account, no tracking
There is nothing to sign up for, and no third-party analytics watching what you make.
iCloud Sync is yours to switch on
If you turn it on, your presets and captions are copied to your own private iCloud so they appear on your other devices. Never your photos, never our servers, and one tap deletes the copy.
Multi-device
Your presets, ready everywhere.
Turn on iCloud Sync to keep My Presets and My Captions ready on your iPhone and iPad. Or use one backup file that you control.
iCloud Sync
Turn it on and your presets and captions appear on every device signed in to your Apple Account. Edit on iPhone, then pick up on iPad.
One-file backup
Save all your presets, captions and settings to a single file. Move to a new phone without losing a thing. Choose what to restore.
Photos stay private
Only your design choices travel: frame style, colours, effects and caption placements. Never the photo itself.
