Stamp reads where and when each photo was taken, on your iPhone. Photos that still have their original place and date become verified trips.

Only photos taken with a camera that saved the location count. Screenshots, shared albums, photos saved from other apps and photos whose place or date was edited are skipped. With Selected access, Stamp sees only the photos you chose.

Yes. On Wi-Fi, Stamp downloads a few from each day from your iCloud to check them. On mobile data, it asks first.

Go to Settings › Photos and tap Scan my photos again. New photos are picked up each time you open Stamp.

Yes. Tap + on the Passport tab and choose Add a trip, or tap + on a stamp's page. Exact dates, a month or just a year all work.

Verified trips come from your photos or your location, so only their town can change. Memory trips are ones you added: you can edit or delete them, and their postmark is fainter.

Memory trips you added always stay, and moving to a new iPhone or restoring a backup doesn't remove anything from your passport.

Go to Settings › Home country. Your home stamp gets a wax seal, and it counts in your totals only with Count home in my totals on.

When you arrive in a country that's new to your passport, Stamp welcomes you and your stamp is waiting. Turn them on in Settings › Notifications.

With While Using, Stamp collects stamps only while it's open. With Always, it collects them while it's closed too. Your location never leaves your iPhone.

With Precise Location off, Stamp waits until it's sure which country you're in, so close to a border it may not count.

With a home country set, your day count and the time at home show on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while you're away. Turn it off in Settings › Notifications.

iOS ends every Live Activity after about 8 hours and lets an app start one only while it's open. Open Stamp and it starts again.

They show rarity, from how many tourists visit each year: silver foil is rare, gold very rare. A stamp's page shows its rarity as four dots.

It marks a place on your wishlist. On a stamp's page, tap ••• and choose Add to Wishlist; with a date, a tag counts down the days.

New stamps arrive under silver, like a scratch card. Open the stamp and rub it off with your finger, or tap Reveal with VoiceOver or Reduce Motion on.

It marks your home country's stamp.

Each place belongs to one of seven continents, Antarctica included. The Continents card on the Passport tab shows each one; tap it to see its stamps.

On its stamp's page, tap ••• and choose Show on Map. The map flies there and outlines it, even if you haven't been.

From Wikipedia, in your language when there's an article, under CC BY-SA 4.0. The link under it opens the full article.

Your trips earn them: countries and continents, rare places, seasons, regions and journeys. Most have bronze, silver and gold. Tap Medals at the top of the Stamps tab.

They show as a question mark with a hint until you earn them.

A medal is dated the travel day you earned it, not the day Stamp noticed. A trip added later can earn a medal on an old date.

Distance medals measure from home, so they wait until you set it in Settings › Home country.

On a stamp you've collected, tap ••• and choose Send a postcard. Pick a style and a picture, write a note, then tap Share: Messages and Mail get both sides, other apps a story picture.

On a stamp's page, tap ••• and choose Share. A medal's page has a Share button too.

No. Postcards and share cards are new pictures with no location, camera or date from your photos.

Postcards to friends travel through our server, so Friends needs an account. Everything else works without one, and your passport stays on your iPhone.

In the Friends tab, tap Add a Friend and share your invite link, or let them scan its QR code with the Camera. An invite works 5 times in 7 days.

Tap the link a friend sent you and choose Accept. Or paste it in Friends › Add a Friend under Have an invite?

Make a postcard from a stamp's ••• menu, then tap the paper plane. Pick your friends and record a voice note of up to a minute if you like.

Open their postcard and tap •••, or tap their name in Friends, then choose Report or Block. They aren't told, and blocked people can't send you anything.

Go to Settings › Account, tap Delete Account and confirm. Your profile, your friends, and every postcard and voice note are permanently removed from Stamp's servers at once. Your passport stays on your iPhone.

Only on this iPhone, and your photos and location never leave it. Friends has an account, which holds only your name, your email from Apple or Google (so we can contact you about your account or a report; friends never see it), your picture, your friends and the postcards you send.

Never. Stamp checks them on your iPhone and keeps only the place and the day. The only picture that leaves it is a postcard you send to a friend.

In Settings, Export my passport saves your trips, wishlist and settings as a file. Delete all my data removes everything from Stamp; your photos stay in Photos.

Yes. In Settings, turn on Lock with Face ID (Touch ID on some devices). Stamp then asks each time you come back to it, and before exporting or deleting your data.

Your passport doesn't sync yet, so deleting Stamp deletes it from this iPhone. Export it first to keep a copy.

Tap the Stamp Pro card in Settings, then Restore Purchases. Use the Apple Account you bought it with.

In Settings › Stamp Pro, tap Manage Subscription. You can also do it in the Settings app: tap your name, then Subscriptions.

No, Family Sharing isn't available for Stamp Pro. Each person subscribes with their own Apple Account.
