(Photo: AI for representation)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Remember Koo, the made in India app that was eyeing X (formerly Twitter) and had to shut down? The company and brains behind that platform have now come out with a new app that can scan for photos in the gallery and make it easy to share.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">PicSee is the latest app vying for a spot on your phone and Mayank Bidwatka, co-founder of this platform is trying to find the right balance between convenience and user privacy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">PicSee claims to be an AI-powered app that will scan for your photos and seamlessly share with friends. The AI tool is entrusted with looking for your friends in these photos and sending them an invite to share with each other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>PicSee AI-Powered Photo Sharing: How It Works?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The company is using facial recognition to look for photos with your friends. Once it finds the photos, the person is sent an invite and once both parties agree to share images, the app does the last leg of its work. This process continues in the background and will assist with more photos as they are clicked. PicSee also gives a 24-hour timeline during which you can remove or add more photos that are to be shared.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Photo Sharing With AI But Is It Safe?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Any app using AI to do tasks behind the scenes brings privacy concerns to the forefront and the company seems to have worked out that part for the users. PicSee ensures that all the photos stay on the device and they are encrypted when the transfer happens. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The platform will not let you take screenshots which is a good move, and gives people full control of which pictures the app can review. We\u2019ll be taking a closer look at PicSee and see if these claims match up in real-time usage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">PicSee has been around since July 2025 and it claims to have users in over 27 countries. It also points out that more than 150,000 photos have been shared using the app and many have warmed up to the system of AI doing the sharing business. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"S Aadeetya\" title=\"S Aadeetya\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-1623186194 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delhi, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-1623186194 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>October 17, 2025, 15:46 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-1623186194 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/\">tech<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> This Made In India App Uses AI To Scan Your Photos And Share: How It Works And Is It Risky?<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
