Getting started

Memories uses the iCloud account on your device, so there's nothing to sign up for. Make sure you're signed in to iCloud in Settings, then open the app and add your name.

Sharing with your partner or a friend

Tap your profile (top right of Home), then Create to make a shared space. Invite them with the QR code, Messages or a link. They open the link, or tap Join and scan the code. Each of you needs your own Apple Account, on an iPhone or iPad.

A memory isn't showing on another device

Changes sync through iCloud, usually within seconds. Check that both devices are online and signed in to iCloud, and that iCloud storage isn't full: Memories says so on Home if it is. Opening the app on both helps it catch up.

Choosing which space a widget shows

A new widget shows your personal space. To show a shared space instead, touch and hold the widget, tap Edit Widget, then choose it under Space. You can add one widget for each space.

Hiding or deleting a shared space

On your profile, tap the ⓘ next to the space. If you made the space, Delete space removes it and everything in it, for both of you. If you joined it, you can't leave, but Hide space takes it off your list without changing anything for your friend. Bring it back any time from the hidden spaces under your list.

If the person who made a space deletes it, you keep a read-only copy: you can still look through and export it, but not add to it.

Reminders and suggestions

Profile → Permissions. Memory reminders tell you when a memory turns another month or year older, at a time you choose. Suggestions offer memories from your calendar and photos, worked out on your device.

Premium

Memories is free for up to 50 memories, 100 photos and one shared space. Premium is a one-time purchase that removes the limits: profile → Account → Unlock. On a new device, use Restore purchase on the same page, or Redeem a code if you were given one. Nothing you've made is ever locked, even over the limits.

Only the spaces you made count toward your limits: what you add to them, and what your friend adds too. A shared space someone else made counts toward theirs, not yours, even what you add to it. Joining one is never limited. If it's full, its owner can unlock Premium to make room.

Your data

Export everything as a zip at any time (profile → Account → Export data). To delete everything, use profile → Account → Delete Account. See the privacy policy for what the app does and doesn't collect.
