Using Trippy
How does Trippy detect my trips?
With your permission, Trippy reads the time and location metadata attached to photos in your library and groups them into stays and suggested trips. It never adds a trip to your account until you confirm it, and it doesn't upload your photos.
Do I have to log trips manually?
No. Most of your history appears automatically from your photos. You can also add, edit, or remove any country, city, trip, or leg by hand whenever you like.
Which devices are supported?
Trippy is an iOS app and uses Sign in with Apple. Make sure you're on a recent version of iOS for the best experience.
Auto Trips
Does Auto Trips work with Trippy closed?
Yes, with Trippy Pro and Always location permission enabled. iOS delivers arrival, departure, and significant-location updates in the background. Detection timing depends on iOS and your device settings; this is not a second-by-second GPS recorder.
Which permissions do I need?
Enable Always location access and Precise Location for background Auto Trips. Motion & Fitness adds transport context. Photo access is needed only for photo enrichment. With While Using location access, location capture is limited to the foreground.
How is this different from importing my photos?
Photo-based trip discovery looks back at places in your photo library. Auto Trips records future travel using location signals, including stops where you never take a photo. With Pro, background photo updates can add new photos along the way.
Does it share my location with friends?
Auto Trips and social sharing serve different purposes. Auto Trips builds your travel record. Live travel visibility follows your sharing settings; you stay in control of what your circle can see.
What if I turn it off or my Pro subscription ends?
New automatic capture stops. Existing captured travel history is kept. You can resume by turning Auto Trips back on with an active Pro subscription and the required location permissions.
Trippy Pro & subscriptions
Can I use Trippy for free?
Yes. Your globe, photo-based trip discovery, trips, passport, and travel circle are part of the free experience. Pro adds automatic background tracking and the deeper features listed above.
Do all Pro plans include the same features?
Yes. Weekly, monthly, and annual plans unlock the same Pro features. Choose the billing period that works for you in the app.
How do I subscribe or cancel?
Get Trippy from the App Store and choose Pro inside the app. Apple handles payment. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple account’s subscription settings.
Is there a free trial?
If your account is eligible for a trial, its length, renewal price, and terms will be displayed in the app before you subscribe.
What happens to Auto Trips if Pro ends?
New automatic location capture and background photo updates pause. Your existing captured travel history is kept, and automatic capture can resume when you return to Pro with the required permissions enabled.
Your account
How do I delete my account?
Open the app and go to Settings → Delete Account. This permanently removes your account and all associated data (trips, visits, routes, friendships, and profile). If you need a hand, email privacy@trippy.social from the address on your account.
