No more fiddling with the markup tool in the Photos app to hide a face. Redact your favorite photos with emojis on iOS and protect the privacy of your loved ones. Camouflage automatically detects faces and overlays it with an emoji!
The app is completely free to use, but you can upgrade to the PRO version which will allow you to hide the little watermark in the bottom right corner + add up to 6 favorite emojis.
This is a one-time payment, all future updates will be free of charge!

What a creative solution well done. Does Camouflage allow you to pick different emojis for different people in the same picture?
Billie, the smart invoice assistant
Yes, you can pick any emoji for every head the model has detected!

Congratulations on the launch! 🫡 Love a simple idea like this, most parents I know do this when sharing (e.g. directly on Instagram with the story editor), but I heard that that actually still sends the original image to Meta so the whole idea of not sharing your kid's face with big tech kind of falls apart there. Do you know if that's true? Regardless, this app fixes that 🤌 really cool!

@pieterbeulque Thanks man! It was the perfect app to dip my toes (finally) into SwiftUI after 14 years of UIKit development :D
I'm not aware that Meta would store the original image, but I would not be that surprised 🤣
That's an interesting idea. How does the app perform in group photos where faces might be partially hidden or turned at odd angles?
I love the creativity here but what if the emoji accidentally covers an important part of the photo like a hand gesture or a key detail ? Is there an easy way to move or adjust the overlay?
This is absolutely brilliant. Can the app handle batch processing for several photos at the same time?

@ethan_lennon That's a good feature request! Will add that in the next version!
What a clever and enjoyable way to tackle privacy issues. The use of emojis adds a fun twist that makes the whole process of protecting privacy feel a lot less boring. Hats off to you for such an innovative idea!
