Question 1

How do I stamp a photo?

Accepted Answer

Tap the Camera tab to take a new photo or choose existing photos from your library. Each photo is automatically overlaid with the date, time, location, and any other details you've configured in Settings → Edit your Timestamp.

Question 2

Customising the stamp

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings → Edit your Timestamp to change the font, text colour, date & time format, caption, and position of the stamp. Your changes apply to every photo you stamp from that point on.

Question 3

Stamping multiple photos at once

Accepted Answer

In the photo chooser, tap and hold a photo to enter multi-select mode, then tap each photo you want to stamp. Tap the stamp button to apply your overlay to all selected photos in one step.

Question 4

Deleting originals after stamping

Accepted Answer

Enable 'Delete original photos after stamping' in Settings → Preferences to have the app prompt you to remove the un-stamped original each time you stamp a photo. You'll always be asked to confirm before anything is deleted. Nothing is removed automatically.

Question 5

What is a project?

Accepted Answer

A project groups related stamped photos and videos together, for example a job site inspection, a construction progress log, or an event. Every stamped photo belongs to a project so you can find it later.

Question 6

Creating a project

Accepted Answer

Open the Projects tab and tap the + button. Enter a project name and, if you're signed in, optionally assign it to a team. Tap Create to save. You can also create a project on the fly while stamping a photo.

Question 7

Local vs. team projects

Accepted Answer

Local projects are stored only on your device and aren't visible to anyone else. Team projects are synced to the cloud and shared with every member of the team, which works well when multiple people are adding photos.

Question 8

Sharing a project link

Accepted Answer

Open a project, then tap Manage Project in the banner or tap the project name in the navigation bar. Toggle Share Link on to generate a public URL that lets anyone view the project in read-only mode in a browser. Set the project to Private to restrict access to project members only.

Question 9

Creating a team

Accepted Answer

Tap the + button in the Projects tab, then choose a team from the Team picker or tap 'Create Team…'. Enter a team name, optionally add members by email right away, and tap Create. You become the team Owner.

Question 10

Team roles & permissions

Accepted Answer

Owner — Full control: invite & remove members, manage all projects, rename or delete the team. Editor — Can invite members and create or edit team projects, but cannot delete the team. Viewer — Can view all team projects and photos, but cannot add, edit, or delete anything.

Question 11

Managing your team

Accepted Answer

In the Projects list, find your team's section header. Tap the Manage button on the right side of the header. Owners see 'Manage', other members see 'View'. From there you can rename the team, invite new members, see pending invites, remove members, share an invite link or QR code, and leave or delete the team.

Question 12

Leaving or deleting a team

Accepted Answer

In Team Management, scroll to the bottom and tap Leave Team or Delete Team if you're the Owner. Leaving removes your access to all team projects. Deleting permanently removes the team for everyone. Team projects become unassigned but your stamped photos are not deleted.

Question 13

Inviting by email

Accepted Answer

In Team Management tap Invite member → Enter Email and type the person's email address. If they already have an account they're added straight away. Otherwise they receive an email containing an 8-character invite code valid for 7 days.

Question 14

Inviting from Contacts

Accepted Answer

Tap Invite member → Choose from Contacts to pick someone directly from your address book. If the contact has multiple email addresses, you'll be asked which one to use. The app sends them an invite email automatically.

Question 15

Sharing an invite link

Accepted Answer

In Team Management tap Share Invite Link. This creates a reusable link you can send via any messaging app, email, or AirDrop. Anyone who opens the link and is signed in is added to the team immediately as an Editor.

Question 16

Showing a QR code

Accepted Answer

In Team Management tap Show QR Code. Display the QR code on your screen so nearby colleagues can scan it with their camera to join the team instantly with no typing required.

Question 17

Accepting an email invite

Accepted Answer

Open your invite email and tap the link. The app opens and adds you to the team automatically. You can also copy the 8-character code from the email, go to Settings → Account → Join Team, paste the code, and tap Join Team.

Question 18

Scanning a QR code

Accepted Answer

Ask a team Owner or Editor to show the team's QR code from Team Management. Scan it with your camera and the app confirms your new membership right away.

Question 19

Opening a share link

Accepted Answer

If someone sends you an invite link, tap it in Messages, email, or any browser. The app opens, or prompts you to install it, and adds you to the team once you're signed in.

Question 20

How syncing works

Accepted Answer

Team projects sync automatically in the background. When you add photos to a team project they upload to the cloud, and your teammates see them the next time their app refreshes. A cloud icon on the project card shows the sync status.

Question 21

WiFi-only sync

Accepted Answer

Enable Sync on WiFi only in Settings → Preferences to avoid using cellular data for uploads. While active, photo uploads are paused until you connect to WiFi.

Question 22

Unsynced projects

Accepted Answer

If you created projects before signing in, they appear as local projects. Assign them to a team to start syncing them to the cloud and make them visible to your teammates.

Question 23

Creating an account

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings → Sign In or Create Account. You can sign in with Apple, Google, or a magic link sent to your email. An account is free and required to create teams and sync projects across devices.

Question 24

Timestamp It Pro

Accepted Answer

Pro unlocks all fonts, unlimited stamping, cloud backup, team collaboration, and more. Go to Settings → Upgrade to Timestamp It Pro to see the current subscription options.

Question 25

Managing or cancelling your subscription

Accepted Answer

Timestamp It Pro is billed through Apple. Go to the iOS Settings app, tap your name at the top, then Subscriptions, then Timestamp It. From there you can view your renewal date, change your plan, or cancel. Cancelling stops future renewals and you keep Pro access until the end of your current billing period.
