Call photos are automatic snapshots taken during video calls to help you remember your conversations. A single photo is captured exactly at the 25th second of each call (not every 25 seconds). This timing is inspired by our platform name 'Hola25' - capturing a memory at the 25-second mark of your connection.
The photo is captured once per call, exactly at the 25th second after the call starts. You'll see a 5-second countdown starting at second 20, giving you time to prepare. The capture happens only once at second 25, not repeatedly throughout the call.
Yes, you have full control. Go to Settings > Media preferences to disable call photos entirely. You can also choose whether other users can save photos that include you. Both settings are enabled by default.
There are two types: (1) Self-only photos showing just yourself, available to all users when your video is on. (2) Combined photos showing both you and your partner - this is a premium feature. Combined photos are captured only when the premium user has video enabled AND the partner has given permission for others to save their photo.
If your video is disabled at second 25, no photo will be captured for you. The photo capture requires your video to be active at that exact moment.
Your partner can only see a combined photo (showing both of you) if you have enabled 'Allow others to have my photo' in your media preferences. If this setting is disabled, only you can see photos containing your image.
Call photos are visible in your Call History. Each call entry shows a thumbnail of the captured photo, and you can tap/click to view the full image.
Call photos are stored as part of your call history. They remain available as long as your account exists. You can delete your account at any time, which will also delete all associated call photos.
If the call ends before reaching the 25-second mark, no photo will be captured. The call must be active at second 25 for the photo capture to occur.
