The methodology

Works in sync with Apple Photos.

Favorite and organize in SortGlass, and your changes appear seamlessly in Apple’s Photos app. Both use the same library, so there’s no export, second library, or separate sync step.

Where it isIn your library

Trash is a queue until you confirm deletion. Ratings require SortGlass Pro and iOS 27 or iPadOS 27 or later on iPhone and iPad. Updates on other devices depend on your iCloud Photos settings and connection.

Questions

Good to know.

Does SortGlass delete my photos?

Only when you confirm. Swiping up adds a photo to SortGlass Trash, which is just a queue. When you choose Delete in Trash, your device asks you to confirm, and confirmed items move to Recently Deleted in Apple Photos, where Apple generally keeps them for up to 30 days unless you delete them sooner.

Does it work with iCloud Photos?

Yes. SortGlass works directly on your Apple Photos library, so favorites, albums, ratings on supported systems, and confirmed deletions sync through iCloud Photos according to your settings. Photos stored only in iCloud may download when you open them.

What do I need to use it?

An iPhone with iOS 18 or later, an iPad with iPadOS 18 or later, or an Apple-silicon Mac (M1 or later) with macOS 15 or later. Star ratings require SortGlass Pro and supported system software; on iPhone and iPad, that means iOS 27 or iPadOS 27 or later. Liquid Glass appears on supported systems, including iOS 26 or later and iPadOS 26 or later.

Will search find every photo and video?

Search uses an index of the metadata SortGlass can read. Camera and lens details aren’t present in every file, and some iCloud-only originals need a download before their details can be checked. More → Photo Search Index shows progress and scan options. A completed scan doesn’t guarantee every file contains camera information.

How do I cancel or restore a purchase?

On iPhone or iPad, manage subscriptions in Settings → your name → Subscriptions. On Mac, open your account in the App Store and choose Subscriptions. See Apple’s cancellation instructions. To restore Pro on another device, open More → SortGlass Pro → Restore Purchases while signed in with the same Apple Account.
