Taking Photos

Now it’s time to snap away. Here’s the detailed process:

1. Accessing the Camera

   • From the home screen, tap your event.

   • Hit the Camera button (a shutter icon) to open the interface.

2. Shooting Photos

   • Camera Options:

     • Toggle between front and rear cameras using the flip icon.

     • Pinch to zoom (up to 3x on supported devices).

   • Tap the shutter button to capture. No advanced settings—just point and shoot for simplicity.

   • For best results Flash is on by default, but toggling off will keep the flash off until user turns it back on.

   • Note: Photos can’t be retaken or edited post-capture, mimicking a true disposable camera.

3. Uploading (coming soon)

   • Photos upload automatically via Apple CloudKit (Apple’s secure cloud platform).

   • A “Photo Added” confirmation appears briefly.

   • Requires an internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular)—offline photos queue until you’re online.

4. Photo Limits and Storage

   • No cap on photo quantity, but storage duration varies:

     • Free/Deluxe: 30 days post-reveal.

     • Premium: 1 year.

   • Check remaining storage time in the event settings.

5. Delayed Reveal

   • Photos are locked until 9 AM the next day (or your custom reveal time for Premium).

   • This builds suspense—no peeking allowed!
