What SODA is
SODA is a free-to-download beauty camera and photo editor for Android and iOS, with in-app purchases and VIP subscriptions. Filters and makeup combine for one-touch styles, while skin touch-ups and natural beauty effects work in real time during capture. Portrait effect lets users tap an area to adjust focus, and a high-resolution mode supports selfies. Multiple photos can be edited together. AI can detect and remove distractions such as creases, shadows, and glare. Face recognition positions filters and makeup in real time; SODA says this does not identify a specific person. Some editing sends photos to BytePlus for processing and immediate deletion. Photos submitted to OpenAI for certain AI services may be retained for up to 30 days for safety and monitoring. The app is not intended for children under 16. VIP subscriptions cost $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year.
