Common questions
Where is my copy? Open the Photos app and look in Recently Saved. Tap Edit, then Styles, to choose a texture.
Why can't Grain add texture to a photo? Grain works with HEIC photos that include Photographic Styles data, which recent iPhones save. JPEG photos, screenshots and older photos don't have that data.
Why is my Live Photo now a still? In this version, the copy of a Live Photo is saved as a still photo. Your original Live Photo is not changed.
Is my original changed? No. Grain always saves a new copy and never edits or deletes your original.
Grain Privacy Policy
Effective 22 September 2026
Grain: Photo Textures ("Grain") collects no personal data. It has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking, and it makes no network requests.
Your photos
Grain asks for access to your photo library so it can read the original of each photo you pick and save a new copy that offers texture styles in the Photos app. Your original photo is not changed.
- Photos are processed entirely on your iPhone. Grain never uploads, shares or sends them anywhere.
- Grain reads only the photos you pick and writes only the new copies it saves to your library.
- If a photo is stored in iCloud Photos, iOS downloads the original to your iPhone so Grain can read it. That download is handled by Apple, not by Grain. If you use iCloud Photos, iOS may also sync the copies Grain saves, as it does for any photo in your library.
Data stored by the app
The only thing Grain stores is a setting on your iPhone that remembers you have seen the introduction. It never leaves your device and is removed when you delete the app.
Third parties
Grain contains no third-party code, software development kits or services. No data is shared with or sold to anyone.
Children
Grain collects no data from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
