Hot or Chopped / Data & deletion
Know what stays on your phone.
Your controls for face processing, temporary media, saved exports, campaign progress and optional Apple services.
Camera access and local matching.
Change Camera permission for Face Switch in iOS Settings. You can still use the public cast demo without camera access. Expression measurements and pose templates are processed on-device and held in memory for the session; they are not uploaded to the publisher or Game Center.
Retaking a pose replaces its temporary reference photo. Leaving the challenge session clears its temporary pose photos and replay media. Abandoned native session files are also cleaned when Face Switch next opens in a new app process. Cleanup can be delayed if iOS prevents file removal.
Recording is your choice.
In Game Settings, turn Save gameplay replay off to stop creating new round recordings. It is On by default in the updated app, with confirmation required before the first recording. You can turn it off before confirming. An existing choice to keep recording off stays off; earlier app versions may default to Off. The separate Include live camera in replay setting controls the live camera panel in recordings. The microphone stays off.
Temporary recordings are not an archive. Save or share a replay you want to keep before another completed recording replaces it or you leave the challenge. Recording permission is controlled by iOS and may be requested again.
Saved copies are separate.
Save writes a photo or supported replay video to Photos after permission. Share opens the iOS share sheet and sends a copy only to the destination you choose. Delete a saved copy in Photos, Files or the destination service where it exists. App cleanup cannot delete those external copies.
Changing Photos permission affects future saves. It does not erase items you previously saved.
Local settings and campaign data.
Settings, progress, unlocks, rewards and best scores are stored in the app’s local data. Deleting the app removes that local app data; offloading the app can retain it. Deletion can remove campaign progress, so do it only if you intend to remove those records. Device backups are managed separately by iOS and your backup settings.
Manage Apple-held scores.
You can decline the optional leaderboard and still play the campaign. If you join, later earned scores can sync while signed in. Manage or sign out of Game Center through device Settings to stop new score submissions while signed out.
Signing out or deleting Face Switch does not delete your Game Center account or scores Apple already holds. Manage those services through Apple’s account and privacy controls. See Game Center & Privacy.
