Overview
The Inner Balance app allows you to replace the default session background with a personal photo. Using an image that triggers positive emotions—such as family, pets, a favorite landscape, or an inspiring design—can help you stay focused and reach a state of high coherence more easily.
Preparation
Before starting, make sure the image you want to use is already saved in your device’s local photo library or Camera Roll.
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Launch the App: Open the Inner Balance app on your iOS or Android device.
-
Open Settings: Tap the Gear icon in the upper corner of the screen.
-
Navigate to Inspiration: Select My Inspiration from the menu.
-
Select Your Photo:
-
Tap Image, then tap Select.
-
Your device’s photo library will open. Browse to your desired image and tap it.
-
On the preview screen, tap Choose (or Choose Photo – Use if you are using an iPad).
-
-
Applying Changes: Your selected photo will now appear as the background during your active coherence sessions.
How to Remove or Change the Photo
To revert to the original default background or swap for a new image:
-
Follow the same path: Settings > My Inspiration > Image.
-
Tap the Clear button to remove the custom photo and return to the default, or tap Select to pick a new one.
Troubleshooting: Photo Access Errors
If you receive a message stating “This app does not have access to your photos or videos,” you must grant permission in your device’s system settings:
-
For iOS/iPadOS: Go to your device Settings > Privacy > Photos. Find Inner Balance in the list and ensure access is enabled (set to “All Photos” or “Selected Photos”).
-
For Android: Go to your device Settings > Apps > Inner Balance > Permissions and ensure Storage/Photos is allowed.
