Frequently asked questions

Quick answers

Where are my meals and photos stored?

They are stored locally on your device in FlavorAtlas’s SwiftData database. iCloud sync is disabled, and there is no FlavorAtlas account or developer-hosted server.

Can I use FlavorAtlas without location access?

Yes. Location is only requested when you use optional nearby restaurant discovery. You can still browse countries and save meals without it.

Why did nearby restaurant search return no results?

FlavorAtlas intentionally filters Apple Maps results for cuisine relevance. Check that location access is enabled and try again from an area with nearby restaurants. You can always type a restaurant and city manually.

Does photo selection give access to my whole library?

No. FlavorAtlas uses Apple’s system photo picker and receives only the photo you select. Camera access is requested separately when you choose to take a photo.

How do I delete my data?

Delete individual meals from their detail screen, or use Reset App in Settings to remove every saved meal. Removing the app through iOS also removes its locally stored app data.

Why did a country’s color go backward?

Each saved meal counts once toward that country’s five-step progress. Editing a meal’s cuisine or deleting it recalculates progress so the map always reflects your current meal history.
