Where to keep private reference photos on iPhone
Treat reference shots as a vault folder problem: import into Blopman with clear names, delete Recents clutter, and keep only harmless references in Photos.
Why Recents fails
Serial numbers next to family photos are how guests find surprises.
Naming
Use dates and object names inside the vault so search in-app stays usable.
FAQ
Notes instead of vault?
OK for short text; photos/scans belong in a vault.
