## Add photos to a catch

1. In the catch sheet, tap **Add a photo** (or the **+** tile when the catch already has photos).
2. Choose:
   - **Take photo** — opens the camera;
   - **Choose from library** — opens your photo library; you can pick several photos at once.

To remove a photo from the catch, tap the **×** on its thumbnail. To add or remove photos on a saved catch, open it and tap **⋯** → **Edit**.

Only photos can be added, not videos. The first photo you add is the one shown on the catch's card.

## Look at the photos

Open the catch and tap the photo. Swipe left or right between photos, pinch or double-tap to zoom, and swipe down or tap **✕** to close.

## Where the photos are kept

- **The photo files stay on your phone**, inside the app. They are not uploaded to our servers.
- A photo you **take in the app** is also saved to your iPhone's photo library, if you allow it. The app asks the first time: "Save photos you take while logging a catch to your photo library."
- A photo you **choose from the library** is already in your library; the app keeps its own copy for the catch.

Because the files live only on your phone:

- deleting the app deletes the photos kept in the app;
- the photos do not appear on another phone;
- photos saved in your iPhone's photo library are not touched when you delete a catch, a photo in the app, or all your data.

## Permissions

- **Camera** — asked the first time you tap **Take photo**.
- **Add to Photos** — asked after the first photo you take, to save a copy to your library. If you say no, the photo is still attached to the catch.
- **Choose from library** needs no permission: the app receives only the photos you pick and cannot browse your library.

## If it does not work

- **Nothing happens when I tap Take photo.** The app has no access to the camera. Open the iOS Settings app, find the app's page and turn **Camera** on. You can always use **Choose from library** instead.
- **A photo tile shows a circular arrow.** The photo could not be added. Tap the tile to try again.
- **A catch shows "No photo".** The catch has no photo, or its file is not on this phone — for example after the app was reinstalled.

## Good to know

There is no way to share or export a photo from the app. To share a picture, use the copy in your iPhone's photo library.
