Progress photos and comparison reports

Open from Home without exposing photos

• The `Visual progress` card sits below `Recovery and stress`. The existing Profile > Progress photos entry remains available.
• Home uses opaque panels with dates, never thumbnails or blurred photos. Tap `Unlock`, then use Face ID, Touch ID, or the device passcode.
• When at least two photos share the same pose, FitLog Pro automatically proposes the oldest as `Before` and the newest as `Today`.
• After unlocking, photos stay authorized until you tap the lock in the header. When the app enters the background, photos are covered and return without another Face ID prompt. Switching accounts always clears the unlock.
• `Only on this phone · sync pending` means the photo is safely stored locally. FitLog Pro retries even after you leave the page, when connectivity returns or the app reopens; retry intervals increase to protect data and battery use.
• If a photo shows `Attention`, its local copy is still available but automatic attempts are paused. Tap the photo and use `Retry`, or open Data & backup > Data reliability and retry the Progress photos area.
• Tap a pending local photo to choose `Retry` or `Delete`. `Delete` permanently removes the copy from this device; the photo disappears immediately while FitLog Pro cleans up any incomplete cloud parts in the background.
• On Android, the private screen blocks screenshots and recording when supported by the system. On iOS, photos are covered during screen recording or mirroring, but the app cannot guarantee that every screenshot is blocked.

Operational steps

1. 1

   Open `Visual progress` from Home or Profile > Progress photos.

2. 2

   Tap `Add photo` and choose pose, date, and time with the wheel pickers. When you backdate a photo, FitLog Pro suggests the closest weight within 30 days of the selected date; equal distances prefer the earlier value.

3. 3

   Before or after the photo, update `Measures` with body fat, lean mass, waist, and other useful circumferences: FitLog Pro uses the closest value for each metric within 30 days of the photo.

4. 4

   If you use Nutrition, keep logging calories, protein, and water across the month: the comparison uses averages from logged days, not a single day.

What enters the comparison

• The photo weight, or the closest recorded body weight when the photo has no weight.
• Body fat, lean mass, waist, shoulders, chest, and hips when present within 30 days before or after the photo; measurements dated after today are excluded.
• Calories, protein, and hydration as averages from nutrition days logged in the same period.
• Completed workouts and total training volume from the month before the photo.
• Relative percentage change and absolute delta, so you can read both the raw number and the direction.

Repeat after about 4 weeks

Read the coach report

• Open `Compare`, choose before and after, then read the `Deep dive report` card above the slider.
• When enough metrics are available, use `Coach report` for a short reading of improvements, regressions, and the next focus.
• The report uses only recorded or aggregated numeric data: it does not estimate body fat, health, or diagnoses from the photo.

What to expect

• You reach a verifiable result at the end of the flow.
• Saved data remains consistent with the guide objective.
• You can continue to related guides without extra setup.
