Recents App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — 最近项目, Recents & All Photos zh-Hans Copy
Your iOS or iPadOS app markets Photos Recents on the product page — under Photos → Recents, the chronological Recents library and camera-roll All Photos grid where buyers browse recent photos and videos as they were captured, scroll Today and date-section headers, and navigate the main library timeline with gallery frames showing Recents, All Photos, Today, and camera roll badges.
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 "Recents", "All Photos", "Today", or "Camera roll" in Latin script.
Shipping photo-library browsing or Recents timeline 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 Recents gallery frames actually look, not Screenshots album screen captures, Imports imported-media grids, Recently Deleted trash recovery, Hidden album hide flows, or Videos Media Types album marketing.

Western indie iOS and iPadOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:
Ship or market a photo gallery, camera-roll browser, or library timeline app whose buyers scroll the Recents library — the chronological grid of recent photos and videos as captured on device
Market Recents, All Photos, camera roll, Today date sections, browse your library, or scroll recent photos and videos on the en-US product page and in screenshot galleries under Photos → Recents framing
Finished Recents-aware UX or camera-roll timeline flows in the binary — not looking for PhotoKit asset query plumbing, limited-library picker engineering, or Screenshots album implementation help here
Enabled the China storefront but the zh-Hans product page still shows English copy or untranslated Recents badge lines on screenshots
Need paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields — not an engineer for library-browsing APIs, not a designer to re-render Recents screenshot PNGs, not Memories or Featured Photos marketing copy
Recents library behavior vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs
Teams assume Photos library browsing on device covers storefront language. PhotoKit, timeline grids, and Connect actually separate in-app Recents behavior from product-page copy:
Photos → Recents — the main chronological library where recent photos and videos appear in capture order. Controls runtime library browsing — not App Store language. AppLocale does not perform this.
All Photos & camera roll grid — the dense grid of every recent photo and video on device, often marketed as All Photos or camera roll on product-page screenshots. Listing copy names that grid; building PHAsset fetch and grid UI is engineering work, not Connect metadata.
Today & date sections — Recents timelines group shots under Today, Yesterday, and calendar date headers. Gallery overlays should name those sections in zh-Hans when your English frames show date headers — not English-only "Today" pasted through machine translation.
Scroll recent photos and videos — user-facing action to browse the main library timeline. Product-page copy should describe that workflow; implementing infinite scroll or section indexing is in-app engineering.
Screenshots album (different surface) — screen captures under Photos → Albums → Screenshots. Related buyer vocabulary (截屏相簿) but not the same product story — do not paste Screenshots album copy onto Recents hero frames. See Screenshots listing (zh-Hans, contrast).
Videos Media Types album (different surface) — videos filtered under Albums → Media Types → Videos, not the Recents chronological library. Mention only as contrast — not the Recents hero. See Videos album 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 Recents support in the binary.
Working Recents library 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 Recents, All Photos, and 最近项目 value on the product page in zh-Hans, not how you wire camera-roll APIs in code.
Recents listing copy vs Screenshots vs Imports vs Recently Deleted vs Hidden album vs Videos vs Places vs Duplicates
Photos-themed apps blur several shop guides indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — Recents chronological library marketing on the product page:
Recents & All Photos (this page) — Photos → Recents: chronological Recents library, camera-roll All Photos grid, Today and date-section browsing, scroll recent photos and videos as captured, with Recents, All Photos, Today, camera roll, 最近项目, 最近, and 所有照片 vocabulary.
Screenshots album (different) — Photos → Albums → Screenshots: iOS screen captures, markup, full-page Safari shots. Covered on our Screenshots guide — 截屏相簿, not Recents timeline hero frames.
Imports album (different) — media imported from cameras, SD cards, and other devices. Covered on our Imports guide — 导入相簿, not camera-roll Recents browsing.
Recently Deleted (different) — 30-day trash album for recover-or-delete workflows. Covered on our Recently Deleted guide — 最近删除, not Recents library hero frames.
Hidden album (different) — hide photos from the main library. Covered on our Hidden album guide — 隐藏相册, not All Photos grid marketing.
Videos Media Types album (different) — videos filtered under Albums → Media Types → Videos. Covered on our Videos album guide — 视频相簿, not the Recents chronological library.
Places album (different) — location-based photo albums. Covered on our Places guide — 地点相簿, not Recents timeline marketing.
Duplicates (different) — merge duplicate photos workflows. Covered on our Duplicates guide — 重复项目, not camera-roll browsing.
Locked Folder (different) — passcode-protected private photo vault. Covered on our Locked Folder guide — 锁定相簿, not Recents library hero.
Files → Downloads (different) — the Downloads location in Files Browse where Safari downloads land — 下载项, not Photos Recents library browsing. See Downloads guide — not 最近项目 hero frames.
Clean Up (different) — tap-to-erase object removal. Covered on our Clean Up guide — 清理照片, not All Photos grid browsing.
Featured Photos Memories People & Pets Shared Albums iCloud Photos (different) — For You highlights, Memory movies, face albums, collaborative albums, and cloud sync each have separate shop guides — not the Recents chronological library hero unless your English listing explicitly centers those surfaces.
Your screenshots may show a Recents timeline beside an album sidebar or a Today section header. Listing copy should name the correct surface per frame — an All Photos grid under Recents is not a Screenshots album, not a Recently Deleted trash grid, not a Videos Media Types album, and not an Imports import-source grid unless that is what the frame shows.
What China buyers see when zh-Hans Recents copy is missing
Photo-gallery and library-browsing purchasers evaluating the China App Store judge timeline 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 Recents or 最近项目 positioning
Untranslated Recents badges on screenshots — overlay lines like "Recents", "All Photos", "Today", "Camera roll", or "Browse your library" remain English on zh-Hans gallery frames
Library value in English — description opens with US camera-roll marketing ("Scroll through every photo you've taken") that China readers skim past or misread
Keyword field still en-US — buyers search 最近项目, 最近, 所有照片, or 相机胶卷; 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 Recents "Screenshots album" — machine translation that uses 截屏相簿 for main-library frames when your gallery shows All Photos and Today headers, not screen-capture grids — confusing buyers who expect 最近项目 vocabulary
Calling Recents "Videos album" — 视频相簿 fits Media Types Videos album marketing; Recents hero frames need 最近项目 or 所有照片 vocabulary instead
Calling Recents "Imports" — 导入相簿 fits camera-import album frames; Recents is the main chronological library — see Imports listing (zh-Hans, contrast)
Calling Recents "Recently Deleted" — 最近删除 fits trash-album recovery marketing; Recents browsing frames need 最近项目 or 所有照片 vocabulary — see Recently Deleted listing (zh-Hans, contrast)
Better zh-Hans listing copy helps library-aware buyers understand Recents value before install. It does not replace PhotoKit code, timeline UI engineering, or Apple's review decisions.
Recents-specific listing copy — what translates differently
Recents and camera-roll listings use vocabulary album-specific guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese App Store readers describe Apple's Recents library — not a literal paste of US marketing:
Recents & 最近项目
US pages use "Recents" on the main Photos tab and timeline headers. Apple's Simplified Chinese Photos vocabulary often uses 最近项目 for the Recents library hero, with 最近 on shorter badges and navigation labels. AppLocale aligns phrasing with Apple's consumer-facing terms while keeping your app's voice — not inventing library capabilities your app does not support.
All Photos & 所有照片
Many Recents marketing screenshots show the dense All Photos grid — every recent photo and video as captured. zh-Hans copy should describe that grid with 所有照片 when your English frames use "All Photos" — related to but distinct from 最近项目 tab naming on some overlays.
Camera roll & 相机胶卷
English listings still say "camera roll" on legacy marketing frames even when the on-screen label reads Recents. Chinese buyers may search 相机胶卷 for main-library browsing — useful as keyword overlap when your English gallery uses camera-roll wording alongside Recents UI.
Today & date sections
Recents timelines group shots under Today, Yesterday, and calendar dates. zh-Hans caption lines should name the section the frame shows: 今天 for Today headers, date-formatted section titles for timeline marketing — not English "Today" pasted through machine translation.
Do not conflate with Screenshots Imports or Recently Deleted
Recents is the main chronological library. Screenshots is a screen-capture album under Albums. Imports holds camera-imported media. Recently Deleted is a trash album with recover-or-delete semantics. If your app supports multiple surfaces, scope each screenshot frame accurately.
Do not conflate with Videos Media Types album
The Videos album under Albums → Media Types filters video files — not the full Recents timeline of photos and videos together. Listing copy about 视频相簿 belongs on the Videos album guide, not All Photos grid frames unless your English listing explicitly compares both surfaces.
Subtitle and keyword packing
The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need Recents-relevant search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 最近项目, 所有照片, and 相机胶卷 each signal different intent from Screenshots 截屏相簿 keywords or Imports 导入相簿 keywords.
Before / after — Recents listing phrases (en-US → zh-Hans)
Concrete examples AppLocale rewrites from your English source — not Screenshots album or Videos Media Types copy:
Final phrasing depends on your English claims, Recents surfaces on gallery frames, and Connect character caps. See Screenshot captions in Simplified Chinese for overlay mechanics.
Common mistakes on Recents zh-Hans listings
Assuming library browsing localizes automatically — Recents timeline UX shipped; zh-Hans row never added or left blank
Only translating the description — subtitle, keywords, and Recents screenshot caption lines still English
Reusing US Recents badges verbatim — Latin "All Photos" and "Today" badges on zh-Hans screenshots signal an unfinished localization
Conflating Recents with Screenshots album — listing copy about 截屏相簿 when screenshots actually show the main library timeline; Screenshots is screen captures under Albums, not 最近项目
Conflating Recents with Videos album — 视频相簿 fits Media Types Videos marketing; Recents hero frames need 最近项目 or 所有照片 vocabulary
Conflating Recents with Imports or Recently Deleted — 导入相簿 and 最近删除 fit those album surfaces; Recents is the chronological library unless your English listing explicitly compares them
Conflating Recents with Hidden album or Locked Folder — hide-from-library and vault marketing belong on separate guides, not All Photos grid frames
Translating the in-app Recents tab label only — system Photos UI may show Chinese from iOS while the App Store product page stays English
Expecting AppLocale to implement PhotoKit library APIs or design Recents PNGs — asset fetch pipelines and screenshot asset production are outside listing rewrite
What good zh-Hans Recents listing copy looks like
Recents-centric listings name the chronological library workflow in plain zh-Hans — not a word-for-word mirror of English brochure lines:
Subtitle — one clause on browse-recent-photos or camera-roll outcome; room for 最近项目 or 所有照片 within 30 characters
Keywords — mix 最近项目, 最近, 所有照片, 相机胶卷, and category nouns; avoid English-only "Recents" stuffing — see Simplified Chinese keywords
Description — lead with the Recents timeline workflow; mention Today sections only when your English listing already claims them accurately
Screenshot overlays — short lines naming what the frame shows: 最近项目, 所有照片, 今天 — not "All Photos" pasted through machine translation
Voice match — same 你/您 and punctuation habits as your other zh-Hans fields
Honest scope — if your app helps users browse Recents but does not replace Apple's Photos library, zh-Hans copy should not imply full system-library replacement unless your English listing already claims it accurately
zh-Hans Recents captions can differ idiomatically from en-US overlays when the on-screen feature is the same — avoid mirroring comma-heavy English marketing onto iPhone or iPad art.
Connect checklist before you order Recents listing copy
Confirm China under Pricing and Availability — storefront enabled if you intend to sell there
Confirm Recents or camera-roll features work in your build — note that we do not change PhotoKit fetch APIs, timeline indexing, or portal settings for you
Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — note whether the zh-Hans row exists and which text fields are empty vs English placeholder
Export English Recents marketing copy — current en-US title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and every screenshot overlay line ("Recents", "All Photos", "Today", "Camera roll", "Browse your library", date-section headers, and timeline scroll frames)
Count screenshot frames — note how many iPhone (and iPad if universal) slots show Recents UI, All Photos grids, Today headers, or camera-roll marketing
Separate listing from in-app UI — listing rewrite does not cover storyboard strings or Recents tab labels inside the binary
Note which library surfaces you market — Recents tab, All Photos grid, Today sections, or date-grouped timeline — so zh-Hans copy stays accurate to your English listing
Distinguish Recents from Screenshots Imports Recently Deleted Hidden Videos or album frames — tag which overlay lines are main-library browsing vs album-specific surfaces so each caption gets accurate zh-Hans scope
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 Recents-marketing 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 — Recents or All Photos phrasing within the ~30-character cap
Keywords — comma-separated zh-Hans search terms with rationale notes (最近项目, 最近, 所有照片, 相机胶卷 where relevant)
Description — buyer-readable body copy aligned with your English Recents listing meaning
Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
Screenshot overlay / caption lines — zh-Hans replacements for "Recents", "All Photos", "Today", "Camera roll", 最近项目, 最近, 所有照片, and similar frame text
English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on library-browsing promises
24-hour turnaround — delivered to the email on your Stripe receipt after checkout and intake
Human rewrite from your current English Recents marketing listing — not a machine translation dump. Default $79 scope is Connect listing metadata; bundle IAP display names or promotional-only passes via the AppLocale product page if needed.
What AppLocale does not do
Does not implement Recents, PhotoKit library browsing, or camera-roll timeline flows in Swift
Does not wire PHAsset fetch pipelines, section indexing, or infinite-scroll grid UI in app code
Does not generate, design, or re-export screenshot PNGs or sample photo libraries
Does not write Screenshots, Imports, Recently Deleted, Hidden album, or Videos Media Types album listing copy as the hero — separate Photos surfaces outside Recents scope
Does not write Places, Duplicates, Locked Folder, Clean Up, Featured Photos, Memories, People & Pets, Shared Albums, or iCloud Photos listing copy as the hero — see separate shop guides for those scopes
Does not localize the app binary or in-app UI strings, storyboards, or Xcode string catalogs
Does not manage Apple Search Ads, ad campaigns, or monetization strategy
Does not guarantee App Store rankings, library-browsing adoption, 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 — Recents-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 Recents listing copy (all fields and caption lines), which library 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 shipping Recents or camera-roll browsing auto-fill my China App Store listing?
No. Recents timeline organization, All Photos grids, and Today section browsing control runtime library behavior — they do not create or fill a Simplified Chinese localization row. Empty or English zh-Hans fields mean China buyers see en-US fallback.
Which App Store Connect fields does AppLocale rewrite for Recents apps?
Paste-ready Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) copy for App Store Connect listing fields you specify: title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot overlay or caption lines — rewritten from your English Recents marketing originals.
Can AppLocale implement PhotoKit library browsing or Recents grid APIs?
No. We deliver listing metadata copy only. Library-browsing engineering, PhotoKit asset wiring, and Recents screenshot asset design are outside AppLocale scope.
How is this different from Screenshots, Imports, Recently Deleted, and Videos pages?
Screenshots copy covers the Screenshots album — 截屏相簿. Imports copy covers camera-imported media — 导入相簿. Recently Deleted copy covers trash recovery — 最近删除. Hidden album copy covers hide-from-library — 隐藏相册. Videos album copy covers Media Types Videos — 视频相簿. This page is Recents as the product-page theme: the chronological library where buyers browse All Photos and recent captures — 最近项目, 最近, 所有照片.
Why do screenshot captions still say All Photos in English on China?
Caption and overlay fields are managed per localization. If you filled en-US screenshot text but never saved zh-Hans caption lines — or uploaded the same English-overlay PNGs to the Chinese set — China buyers see Latin Recents badges on the product page.
Should zh-Hans copy use 最近项目 or 所有照片?
Each appears in Chinese storefront and search contexts. AppLocale picks phrasing that matches your English listing claims and screenshot overlays — 最近项目 for the Recents tab hero, 所有照片 for All Photos grid frames, 今天 for Today sections — without inventing capabilities your app does not support.
What do I send after AppLocale payment?
Your live App Store listing URL, current English Recents 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 Recents listing copy improve Search ranking in China?
We do not guarantee keyword position, chart rank, or install growth. Complete zh-Hans metadata helps library-aware buyers who already found your page understand Recents benefits in their language.
