I only see some of my photos

You chose “Limit access” when Rolldrift asked. Open Settings → Rolldrift → Photos and choose Full Access, or tap “Choose more photos” in Rolldrift's Settings to add some. Rolldrift works either way; it shows what it can see.

Why don't I see my screenshots?

They are hidden from the feed by default. Tap the Rolldrift wordmark at the top and turn off “Hide screenshots”.

What happens when I heart a post?

The photo becomes a Favorite in Apple Photos, so it is in Photos' Favorites album too, and a Favorite you set in Photos shows as a heart here. Tap the heart again to remove it.

Can Rolldrift delete photos?

No, on purpose: Rolldrift never deletes anything, so scrolling your library is always safe. To delete one photo, open it in Apple Photos (the ⋯ under a post → Delete… opens Photos for you). To clear out many at once, such as duplicates, screenshots and blurry shots, Photodrift, from the same maker, is built for exactly that.

Where do my notes live?

On your iPhone, in Rolldrift and in its backup. Settings → Export all notes gives you a Markdown file (and a JSON copy) whenever you want one. On iOS 27, captions you wrote in Apple Photos show as notes, and Settings → Also save notes in Apple Photos makes each note the photo's caption there too, so it stays if you delete Rolldrift and reaches your other devices through iCloud Photos.

How do I save a trip into an album?

Tap the bookmark under a post and choose an album, or make a new one. The album you used last is always first, so a whole trip is two taps per post. Albums are real Apple Photos albums, and you can make as many as you like.

How do I add the widget?

Touch and hold the Home Screen, tap Edit, then Add Widget, and search for Rolldrift. It shows a photo from this day in past years, new each morning; on a day with none, it shows a photo you hearted. Tap it to open that photo. With Rolldrift Pro, touch and hold the widget, choose Edit Widget, and pick your hearts, an album or Shuffle.

The daily reminder

Off until you turn it on: tap “Remind me” under the On this day post, or Settings → On this day → Daily reminder. It comes at the time you choose, only on days that have a memory, and not on a day you have already opened Rolldrift. It is a notification your iPhone makes by itself; nothing is sent from a server.

Videos are silent

The feed starts muted so it never interrupts your music. Tap a video, or its speaker button, or press volume up, and sound stays on for the rest of that session. Settings → Video → Start with sound makes it the default.

Some posts show a spinning ring

Those photos are in iCloud and are downloading. If one says “Couldn't load from iCloud”, check your connection and tap Retry. Settings → Video → Autoplay → Wi-Fi only saves mobile data.

How do I restore Rolldrift Pro?

Settings → Restore Purchases, signed in with the Apple Account that bought it. It is a one-time purchase; there is nothing to cancel.
