Favorites App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — 个人收藏, 收藏 & Favorites zh-Hans Copy
Your iOS or iPadOS app markets Photos Favorites on the product page — under Photos → Albums → Favorites, the user-curated Favorites album where buyers collect hearted and starred photos and videos, with gallery frames showing add to Favorites, remove from Favorites, and workflows to browse your favorites collection instead of scrolling the chronological Recents library or the Media Types format hub.
Buyers need copy that helps them find favorited shots, distinguish Favorites from Recents, Featured Photos, or Selfies, and understand why only manually starred items appear here.
Open the same app on the China storefront and buyers still land on an English product page.
Title, subtitle, description, and screenshot overlays that read "Favorites", "Starred photos", "Hearted photos", or "Add to Favorites" in Latin script.
Shipping favorites toggles or Favorites album UX in the binary does not auto-fill a Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) localization row.
AppLocale writes paste-ready zh-Hans listing copy for those Connect fields — aligned with how your Favorites gallery frames actually look, not Recents chronological browsing, Media Types smart-album hub marketing, or Selfies front-camera album copy.

Western indie iOS and iPadOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:
Ship or market a favorites organizer, starred-photo browser, or Favorites-album tool — or Photos-style Favorites album app whose buyers browse user-curated hearted and starred stills and clips
Market Favorites, the Favorites album, starred photos, hearted photos, add to Favorites, browse your favorites, or distinguish Favorites from Recents on the en-US product page under Photos → Albums → Favorites framing
Finished Favorites-aware UX or on-device heart-star toggle, favorites grid, or Favorites-album browsing flows in the binary — not looking for general Recents timeline or Media Types hub engineering help here
Enabled the China storefront but the zh-Hans product page still shows English copy or untranslated Favorites badge lines on screenshots
Need paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields — not an engineer for PhotoKit favorite-flag APIs, not a designer to re-render Favorites screenshot PNGs, not Featured Photos or Memories marketing copy as the hero
Favorites album behavior vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs
Teams assume Photos heart-star toggles on device cover storefront language. PhotoKit favorite flags, Favorites album routing, and Connect actually separate in-app Favorites behavior from product-page copy:
Photos → Albums → Favorites — the system album where buyer-starred photos and videos collect on device. Controls on-device curation — not App Store language. AppLocale does not perform this.
Heart or star to favorite — the tap action buyers use to add a photo or video to Favorites. Product-page copy should describe that workflow; building favorite-toggle UI is engineering work, not Connect metadata.
Starred photos & hearted photos — user-curated stills and clips the buyer manually saved to Favorites, distinct from every shot in Recents. Listing copy names that path; building favorites-grid UI is engineering.
Add to Favorites & remove from Favorites — toggle and un-favorite actions on gallery frames. zh-Hans overlays should name those actions when your English frames show heart or star controls — not English-only "Add to Favorites" pasted through machine translation.
Browse your favorites collection — buyers open the Favorites album to review starred items instead of scrolling the chronological Recents library or the Media Types format grid. Listing copy names that path; building album UI is engineering.
Recents library (different surface) — chronological camera-roll All Photos grid under Photos → Recents. Related buyer vocabulary (最近项目) but not the same product story — do not paste Recents copy onto Favorites hero frames. See Recents listing (zh-Hans, contrast).
Media Types hub (different surface) — format-album grid under Albums → Media Types listing Videos, Selfies, Screenshots, and related smart albums — not the user-curated Favorites collection. Mention only as contrast. See Media Types listing (zh-Hans, contrast).
Pricing and Availability → China — makes the app downloadable on the China App Store. Separate from language rows.
App Store tab → Chinese (Simplified) localization — independent row for title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, screenshots, and caption lines. Empty or English here means China buyers see English fallback regardless of Favorites support in the binary.
Working Favorites album integration and a localized China listing are both required when you sell on the China storefront — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe Favorites, 个人收藏, and 收藏 value on the product page in zh-Hans, not how you wire favorite-flag APIs in code.
Favorites listing copy vs Recents vs Media Types vs Selfies vs Featured Photos vs Screenshots vs Videos vs Imports vs Places vs Duplicates
Photos-themed apps blur several shop guides indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — Favorites user-curated album marketing on the product page:
Favorites album (this page) — Photos → Albums → Favorites: user-curated hearted and starred photos and videos, add to Favorites, remove from Favorites, browse your favorites collection, find favorited shots vs Recents, with Favorites, starred photos, hearted photos, 个人收藏, 收藏, 收藏的项目, and 收藏夹 vocabulary.
Recents & All Photos (different) — chronological camera-roll library of every recent capture — not the same product story as the Favorites curation album. Covered on our Recents guide — 最近项目, not Favorites hero frames.
Media Types hub (different) — smart-album format grid under Albums → Media Types. Covered on our Media Types guide — 媒体类型, not user-curated heart favorites.
Selfies album (different) — front-camera stills under Albums → Selfies. Covered on our Selfies guide — 自拍相簿, not Favorites starred-collection frames.
Featured Photos (different) — For You algorithmic highlight picks. Covered on our Featured Photos guide — 精选照片, not manually hearted favorites unless your English listing explicitly compares both surfaces.
Screenshots (different) — iOS screen captures under Albums → Screenshots. Covered on our Screenshots guide — 截屏相簿, contrast only.
Videos (different) — video clips under Albums → Videos. Covered on our Videos guide — 视频相簿, contrast only.
Recently Deleted (different) — 30-day trash album. Covered on our Recently Deleted guide — 最近删除, contrast only.
Imports (different) — camera and SD card imported media. Covered on our Imports guide — 导入相簿, contrast only.
Places (different) — location-based photo albums. Covered on our Places guide — 地点相簿, contrast only.
Hidden album & Duplicates (different) — hide-from-library and merge-duplicate workflows — contrast only, not Favorites hero frames unless your gallery explicitly compares those surfaces.
People & Pets, Shared Albums, iCloud Photos, Memories (different) — face albums, collaborative albums, cloud sync, and Memory movies each have separate shop guides — not the Favorites starred-collection hero unless your English listing explicitly centers those surfaces.
Your screenshots may show a Favorites grid beside a Recents timeline or a heart toggle on a photo detail view. Listing copy should name the correct surface per frame — a Favorites album with starred thumbnails is not a Recents date section, not a Media Types format hub, not a Selfies front-camera grid, and not a Featured Photos For You carousel unless that is what the frame shows.
What China buyers see when zh-Hans Favorites copy is missing
Favorites-organizer app purchasers browsing the China App Store evaluate starred-collection workflow clarity in the first scroll. Common failure modes when only en-US is filled:
English title and subtitle — app name and tagline still Latin script while competitors show native Chinese Favorites or 个人收藏 positioning
Untranslated Favorites badges on screenshots — overlay lines like "Favorites", "Starred photos", "Hearted photos", "Add to Favorites", or "Browse favorites" remain English on zh-Hans gallery frames
Curation value in English — description opens with US favorites marketing ("Every photo you love, in one place") that China readers skim past or misread
Keyword field still en-US — buyers search 个人收藏, 收藏, 收藏夹, or 收藏的项目; an English-only keyword row misses China Search intent
Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
Calling Favorites "Recents" — machine translation that uses 最近项目 for starred-collection frames when your gallery shows heart toggles and the Favorites album grid — confusing buyers who expect 个人收藏 vocabulary
Calling Favorites "Featured Photos" — 精选照片 fits For You highlight marketing; Favorites hero frames need 个人收藏 or 收藏 vocabulary for user-curated hearts
Calling Favorites "Media Types" — 媒体类型 fits the format-album hub grid; Favorites is a user-curated starred collection — see Media Types listing (zh-Hans, contrast)
Calling Favorites "Selfies" — 自拍相簿 fits front-camera album frames; Favorites collects any starred photo or video — see Selfies listing (zh-Hans, contrast)
Better zh-Hans listing copy helps curation-aware buyers understand Favorites album value before install. It does not replace PhotoKit code, favorite-toggle integration, or Apple's review decisions.
Favorites-specific listing copy — what translates differently
Favorites and starred-collection listings use vocabulary general photo-library guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese App Store readers describe Apple's Favorites album — not a literal paste of US marketing:
Favorites & 个人收藏
US pages use "Favorites" on the album grid under Photos → Albums. Apple's Simplified Chinese Photos vocabulary often uses 个人收藏 for the Favorites album hero, with 收藏 on shorter badges and heart-star action labels. AppLocale aligns phrasing with Apple's consumer-facing terms while keeping your app's voice — not inventing curation capabilities your app does not support.
Starred photos & hearted photos
English listings use "starred photos", "hearted photos", or "favorite shots" on grid and detail frames. zh-Hans copy should describe those items with 收藏的项目 or 收藏的照片 when that matches your English source — distinct from every photo in Recents or algorithmic picks in Featured Photos.
收藏夹
Some English listings use "favorites collection" or "your favorites folder" phrasing. Chinese buyers may search 收藏夹 for collection-style favorites marketing — related to 个人收藏 but useful as keyword overlap when your English gallery uses folder or collection wording.
Add to Favorites & remove from Favorites
Action-oriented screenshots — tap the heart or star to favorite, swipe to unfavorite — need verb phrases Chinese readers recognize. Frames should pair 添加到个人收藏 or 取消收藏 with the UI your gallery actually shows — heart icon, star badge, or Favorites toggle on photo detail.
Find favorited shots vs browse Recents
Many Favorites marketing screenshots compare the starred album with the main library timeline. zh-Hans copy should explain why buyers open Favorites instead of Recents when your English gallery shows that contrast — without making Recents the primary hero unless your frames center the chronological library.
Do not conflate with Featured Photos or Memories
Favorites is a manually curated starred album. Featured Photos surfaces algorithmic For You highlights — different buyer promise. Memories builds recap movies — not favorites browsing. If your app supports multiple surfaces, scope each screenshot frame accurately.
Subtitle and keyword packing
The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need Favorites-relevant search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 个人收藏, 收藏, and 收藏夹 each signal different intent from Recents 最近项目 keywords or Media Types 媒体类型 keywords.
Before / after — Favorites listing phrases (en-US → zh-Hans)
Concrete examples AppLocale rewrites from your English source — not Recents browsing or Media Types hub copy:
Keyword field — Before: Favorites,starred photos,hearted photos,favorites album,add to favorites → After: 个人收藏,收藏,收藏夹,收藏的项目,收藏的照片
Final phrasing depends on your English claims, Favorites surfaces on gallery frames, and Connect character caps. See Screenshot captions in Simplified Chinese for overlay mechanics.
Common mistakes on Favorites zh-Hans listings
Assuming heart-star toggles localizes automatically — Favorites album UX shipped; zh-Hans row never added or left blank
Only translating the description — subtitle, keywords, and Favorites screenshot caption lines still English
Conflating Favorites with Recents — 最近项目 fits chronological library browsing; 个人收藏 fits Favorites album frames with heart toggles
Conflating Favorites with Media Types — 媒体类型 fits the format-album hub; Favorites is user-curated starred items
Conflating Favorites with Featured Photos — 精选照片 fits For You highlights; Favorites is manually hearted content
Conflating Favorites with Selfies — 自拍相簿 fits front-camera album grids; Favorites collects starred items from any source
English Favorites badges on zh-Hans screenshots — Connect caption fields are Chinese but burned-in badges on PNG exports are still Latin
Expecting AppLocale to implement favorite-flag APIs — PhotoKit favorites engineering is outside listing rewrite
Connect checklist before you order Favorites listing copy
Confirm China under Pricing and Availability — storefront enabled if you intend to sell there
Confirm which Favorites surfaces your app markets — Favorites album grid, heart or star toggle, add to Favorites, browse favorites collection, distinguish from Recents — listing copy must match your gallery frames
Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — note whether the zh-Hans row exists and which text fields are empty vs English placeholder
Export current English Favorites marketing copy — current en-US title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and every screenshot overlay line ("Favorites", "Starred photos", "Add to Favorites", "Hearted photos")
List screenshot frames that show Favorites UI — note which gallery images show Favorites album grids, heart toggles, or Recents-vs-Favorites comparison so caption lines match frame order
Separate listing from in-app favorite strings — listing rewrite does not cover heart-button labels or album titles rendered inside the app after install
Plan caption re-export if text is burned into PNGs — Connect caption fields help when overlays are editable; English baked into image files needs design rework outside AppLocale
For one Favorites-themed app on the zh-Hans row, paste-ready Simplified Chinese copy for the listing fields you specify:
Title (name) — zh-Hans app name within Connect character limits
Subtitle — Favorites or starred-collection positioning within the ~30-character cap
Keywords — comma-separated zh-Hans search terms with rationale notes (个人收藏, 收藏, 收藏夹 as appropriate)
Description — buyer-readable body copy aligned with your English Favorites listing meaning
Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
Screenshot overlay / caption lines — zh-Hans replacements for "Favorites", "Starred photos", "Hearted photos", "Add to Favorites", 个人收藏, 收藏, and 收藏的项目 frame text
English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on Favorites feature promises
24-hour turnaround — delivered to the email on your Stripe receipt after checkout and intake
Human rewrite from your current English Favorites listing — not a machine translation dump. Default $79 scope is Connect listing metadata; bundle additional caption lines via the AppLocale product page if needed.
What AppLocale does not do
Does not implement favorite toggles, PhotoKit favorite flags, or Favorites album queries in code
Does not write Recents, Media Types hub, or Selfies listing copy as the hero — see separate shop guides for those scopes
Does not write Featured Photos, Memories, Videos, Screenshots, Imports, Places, Duplicates, People & Pets, Shared Albums, or iCloud Photos listing copy as the hero — contrast surfaces only
Does not write Locked Folder, Hidden album, or Recently Deleted listing copy as the hero
Does not write Clean Up, Live Photos, or Photographic Styles listing copy as the hero
Does not write Screen Time Content & Privacy or Communication Safety listing copy
Does not write Apple Pay, Wallet hub, Express Transit, Apple Card, Tap to Pay, Apple Cash, Dual SIM, iCloud Backup, Display Zoom, or Notification Summary listing copy
Does not design, compose, or re-export screenshot PNG/JPEG assets — caption line sheets only
Does not localize the app binary or in-app UI strings, storyboards, or Xcode string catalogs
Does not guarantee App Store rankings or download growth in China
Does not operate review-reply retainers or respond to App Store reviews on your behalf
Does not click Save or Submit in App Store Connect for you
Is not QuantRadar, not paid ads management, and not investment or legal advice
Does not invent reviews, ratings, or traffic numbers
How it works
Confirm scope — Favorites-themed app with en-US listing done; identify which zh-Hans fields and screenshot caption lines are still English
Send intake — reply from the email on your Stripe receipt with your App Store listing URL, English Favorites listing copy (all fields and caption lines), which Favorites surfaces your gallery shows, screenshot frame count, and target locale (zh-Hans)
Receive files — within 24 hours, paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields arrive at your Stripe receipt email
Paste and submit — fill the zh-Hans row in Connect, enter caption lines per screenshot slot, save, and submit the version for review. Success page: AppLocale thanks.
Does tapping the heart to favorite a photo auto-fill my China App Store listing?
No. Favorites album organization and heart-star toggle flows control runtime library behavior — they do not create or fill a Simplified Chinese localization row. If zh-Hans name, subtitle, keywords, description, or screenshot caption fields are empty or still English, the China storefront falls back to en-US copy.
Which App Store Connect fields does AppLocale rewrite?
Paste-ready Simplified Chinese for listing fields you specify: app name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot overlay or caption lines such as Favorites, starred photos, hearted photos, add to Favorites, 个人收藏, 收藏, 收藏的项目, and 收藏夹 — rewritten from your English originals.
Does AppLocale implement favorite toggles in code?
No. AppLocale rewrites App Store Connect listing metadata and screenshot caption text only. PhotoKit favorite flags, Favorites album queries, and heart-star UI engineering are outside AppLocale scope.
How is this different from Recents, Media Types, and Selfies pages?
Recents copy covers the chronological camera-roll library — 最近项目. Media Types copy covers the format-album hub grid — 媒体类型. Selfies copy covers the front-camera Selfies album — 自拍相簿. Featured Photos copy covers For You highlight picks — 精选照片. This page is Favorites as the product-page theme: the user-curated starred collection under Photos → Albums → Favorites — 个人收藏, 收藏, 收藏夹.
Why do screenshot captions still say Favorites in English on China?
Screenshot overlay lines and caption fields are per localization in App Store Connect. If you never filled zh-Hans caption fields — or pasted English into the Chinese screenshot set — China buyers see Latin Favorites badges on the product page.
Should zh-Hans copy use 个人收藏 or 收藏?
Each appears in Chinese storefront and search contexts. AppLocale picks phrasing that matches your English listing claims and screenshot overlays — 个人收藏 for the Favorites album hero, 收藏的项目 for starred-item grid frames, 收藏夹 for collection-style marketing — without inventing capabilities your app does not support.
What do I send after AppLocale payment?
Your live App Store listing URL, current English Favorites marketing listing (title, subtitle, keywords, description, promo if used, all screenshot caption lines), screenshot frame counts, and target locale (zh-Hans). Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt — we deliver to that Stripe email within 24 hours.
Will localized Favorites listing copy improve Search ranking in China?
We do not guarantee keyword position, chart rank, or install growth. Complete zh-Hans metadata helps curation-aware buyers who already found your page understand Favorites benefits in their language.
