Backfeed is provided under Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA).
Backfeed is a reader for the photo library already on your phone. It turns your own pictures into a scrollable feed and surfaces what you took on this day in previous years. It does not host, back up or sync your photos: everything is read on the device and nothing is uploaded.
Do not rely on Backfeed to keep your photos safe. The app only reads what your phone already stores. If a photo is deleted from your library, or the library itself is lost, Backfeed cannot recover it. Use iCloud Photos or another backup for that.
Backfeed Pro is an auto-renewable subscription sold through Apple. The title, length and price of each option are shown on the purchase screen in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. The subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your Apple ID is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period ending. You can manage or cancel in Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
Automated, bulk or abusive access to the app and its services is prohibited. Features may carry usage limits, which are shown in the app.
Your photos stay yours. Backfeed claims no rights over them, and a memory leaves the phone only when you choose to share it.
The app is provided as is. Features can change between versions, and access to a specific feature is not guaranteed for the life of a subscription.
