PicWay is a swipe photo organizer for iPhone. Review your photos one at a time. By default, swipe right to keep, left to set aside, and up to favorite. Swiping left doesn’t delete anything. Set-aside photos stay in your library, you can put them back anytime, and you can flip the swipe direction in settings.

## Swipe through your photos. Keep what you love. {#top}

By default, right to keep, left to set aside. Nothing gets deleted on a swipe.

## What does each swipe do? {#swipes}

These are the defaults. You can swap left and right in Review settings.

## Does swiping left delete the photo? {#set-aside}

No. It’s set aside and stays in your library. Tap Put back anytime. When you really want to delete, you review the pile first, then iOS asks you to confirm.

## Which photos can I swipe through? {#what}

Start from a memory on the Memories tab.

- **On This Day**: Photos from this date in past years.
- **By month, album, or place**: Pick Memories by month, by album, or by place.
- **Journeys**: Trips with location info can turn into a Journey to swipe through.
- **One at random**: Not sure where to start? Tap One at random under Next up on the Memories tab.

## What PicWay doesn’t do when you swipe {#limits}

- **No delete on swipe**: A swipe never deletes. Deleting goes through your review and the iOS prompt.
- **No uploads, no account**: Reviewing happens on your iPhone, and your photos aren’t uploaded. There’s nothing to sign up for.
