Raken's photo and video settings let you control how photos taken in the app are organized and saved on your device — so your camera roll stays clean and your project photos are always easy to find.
Quick Answer
To manage photo settings:
Tap More in the bottom navigation bar.
Tap Settings, then tap Photo and video settings.
Toggle Save media to device library on or off, and choose a device photo organization option if it's on.
How to Manage Photo and Video Settings
Step 1: Open Settings
Open the Raken mobile app. Tap More in the bottom navigation bar, then tap Settings.
Step 2: Open Photo and Video Settings
Tap Photo and video settings.
Step 3: Choose Your Save Preference
Toggle Save media to device library:
On — photos taken in the Raken app are also saved to your device's photo library. A Device photo organization option appears, letting you choose how they're organized on your device (e.g., in one Raken folder).
Off — photos are uploaded to Raken only. Your device storage won't be used, and the organization option is hidden.
Step 4: Save
Changes apply automatically — no separate save step is required.
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 turn off Save media to device library, or leave it on and set Device photo organization to keep all Raken photos in one folder instead of scattered across your camera roll.
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.
