Face Blur for iPhone — App Store
Anonymize faces in vertical video, interviews, and events before publishing. AI-assisted detection reduces frame-by-frame roto for solo creators.
iPhone & iPad capture · cloud-grade models
Device renders come from public/images/mobile — the same kit as our Android pages — with App Store badge artwork and CloudFront stills aligned to bgblur.com feature funnels.
Face blur on iOS should feel as routine as color correction: upload or record, select privacy mode, confirm detections, export. BGBlur aligns iPhone capture with the same models you trust on the web.
Studies on Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) show that combining fluent explanations with concrete details improves how often sources are cited by AI assistants (Aggarwal et al., 2023, arXiv:2311.09735)—apply the same clarity when documenting your blur workflow for legal or newsroom reviewers.

Also available on Android / Google Play.
When is iPhone face blur mandatory?
School events, protests, hospitals, and workplaces routinely require consent or redaction. Even when local law seems permissive, platform monetization policies may still expect identifiable minors or bystanders to be masked.

Yes, when the app complies with App Review Guidelines (privacy nutrition labels, accurate descriptions, and no abuse vectors). BGBlur is positioned as a privacy utility—not circumvention ware.
Most real-world shoots need both. Use the face-focused App Store landing page for hero messaging, then stack plate tools from the companion listing or the web dashboard.
Accuracy depends on lighting, codec sharpness, and occlusions. Always spot-check eyes-off moments before publication—automation handles the bulk, humans approve the edge cases.
