Classic photos, video and face effects
The iPad uses its camera for previews, photos and session stories. The public app does not offer Video Messages or request microphone access. Existing recordings from earlier installations can still be managed by their operator. Classic capture, background replacement and face effects run on the iPad. Face positions are used to place effects on the preview and the saved image. Classic sessions can run offline during the Apple-verified subscription period.
The operator chooses when the booth deletes its event files. A session can be cleared when it finishes, kept until the operator ends the event, or kept on the iPad until manually deleted. The operator can also remove individual or selected sessions from Event Setup.
Printing, sharing and saving
AirPrint and the Windows Print Bridge receive the finished print image when printing is requested. AirDrop sends the files to the selected recipient. An operator can also export event files or save them to Apple Photos. Copies in Photos may sync with iCloud under that device’s settings.
Each recipient manages their own copy. To remove a copy saved in Photos or Files, shared to another device or sent to a print queue, contact the person who controls it.
Current app features
The public app offers Classic Photobooth and its Session Story videos. AI conversions, AI credits and new Video Messages are not offered. The app does not send booth photos to an AI provider. Saved media from earlier installations remain under the event operator’s control.
Guests and operators do not need a PhotoPlay account. An Apple Account is needed for App Store purchases and restoration.
Subscriptions and theme purchases
Apple handles App Store payments. Studio Monthly subscriptions and one-time theme purchases use StoreKit to verify signed transactions, subscription expiry and ownership on the iPad. Apple processes purchases under its own privacy practices. PhotoPlay does not receive the purchaser’s payment-card details or send purchase receipts to a PhotoPlay server.
New guest sessions require an active Studio subscription, including sessions using a purchased theme. Cancelling or letting the subscription expire does not delete saved event media or purchased theme ownership. Saved media can still be accessed, exported, shared and reprinted. Apple displays the localized price before a purchase.
Theme downloads and website delivery
Theme artwork and these support pages are delivered by Microsoft Azure Static Web Apps through a global network. The service processes network and request information, such as the connection’s IP address and requested resource, to deliver and protect the files. Theme download requests contain no booth photos, support email address, Apple purchase receipt or custom account or device identifier.
We have not enabled individual HTTP request or diagnostic logs for this site. Azure provides aggregate operational metrics, such as request and transferred-byte totals, with a 93-day retention period. We use these site-level totals to understand delivery and service health; they are not linked to a guest, operator or purchase.
Microsoft may also process technical information to operate and secure its services under its applicable terms. This provider processing is separate from the aggregate metrics available to us, and we do not promise a fixed retention period for Microsoft’s internal service records. Global delivery means processing is not restricted to one country.
Diagnostics and tracking
The app keeps limited troubleshooting logs on the iPad and does not automatically upload them. The PhotoPlay support and privacy pages do not load analytics scripts or use tracking cookies. The app does not use cross-app advertising tracking.
Privacy requests
To delete a saved booth session, give the event operator the event name and approximate session time. The operator controls the files on the booth iPad. Deleting a local session does not remove copies already shared, exported, saved to Photos or printed.
If you email the developer, the developer receives your email address and the information you include to handle your request. Send only the details needed to identify the issue. Never include sign-in codes, API keys, payment-card details or private photos in an initial email.
Jeremiah Kiamco personally handles support requests. Support emails are used only for support and retained after the request is resolved.
