FAQ
Q: What if I: delete the app, lose my phone or restore my phone to factory settings, am I still able to get my images back?
A: All your images that are stored within this app (sock) will be stored locally on your mobile drive. If you delete this app those images that are connected to this app can’t be restored and will be deleted. This means that if you don’t have a back-up and the app has been deleted somehow your images will be lost.

Q: I forgot my password and I can’t log in with my Face-ID and/or fingerprint, am I able to get my images back?
A: When you are locked out of your sock app because you forgot your 5 digit password and you’re not able to login with your face-id and/or fingerprint, we are not responsible and we are unfortunately not able to restore/retrieve your photos since they are locally stored on your mobile device.

Q: Why is the app free?
A: We don't use any cloud-based services and we like to build tech products. In the future we might add donations but the app will always be free.
