AI scan processing on iPhone
iPhone Build 61 uses AI processing for completed four-photo scans. Before the first upload, the scan screen says that Pip will send your four photos and basic body details to AI services, names OpenAI and Meshy, explains that Meshy's copy is deleted once the 3D body is saved on your iPhone, and labels the results as AI estimates rather than medical measurements. It links to this policy. Nothing is uploaded until you choose “Agree & start scan”.
Body analysis
Pip prepares a separate analysis copy of each photo on your iPhone by removing metadata and background and masking the head. Those four prepared images, plus your entered height, weight, age range, body-sex answer and the source of the weight, travel through Pip's Railway service to OpenAI. OpenAI returns bounded exterior-body estimates and visible-shape observations. Pip does not send your name, treatment log, symptoms, notes, or Journey entries with the body-analysis request.
Textured 3D body
A second process sends the four full photos through Railway to Meshy to create your textured 3D body. These photos can include your face, head, hair, clothes, and visible surroundings. Meshy's copy is deleted once the 3D body is saved on your iPhone. A server sweep also removes Meshy's copies of failed or withdrawn jobs, and of completed jobs older than 7 days. Pip keeps a necessary anonymous job record to enforce the weekly scan limit and record deletion. Separately, your iPhone fits its own body model on the device for measurements and outlines.
Pip uses anonymous installation and request identifiers to protect these calls and record consent or deletion. The body-analysis service does not keep the submitted photos or result content in Pip's database. OpenAI requests are configured with store: false; OpenAI may still retain limited abuse-monitoring data under its applicable service terms.
