Troubleshooting & FAQ
Photos I take in Raken are cluttering my camera roll — how do I fix this?
Go to More > Settings > Photo and video settings and change to Don't save to device, or choose Organize in one Raken folder to keep all Raken photos in one album.
If I turn off device saving, will I lose my project photos?
No. Photos are always stored in Raken regardless of your device save settings. They're still accessible from your project's Gallery in Raken.
Does this setting affect photos I upload from my camera roll?
No. These settings only affect photos taken directly inside the Raken app. Photos selected from your camera roll are not affected.
