VSCO announced the change with an email to users a few weeks ago, but today is doomsday for the feature. At the moment, sync appears to be working, albeit in limited fashion. I've been able to import photos into my VSCO library on both my iPad and iPhone and have edits stay in sync. That'll probably disappear before long, however, so don't necessarily rely on it. The good news is that none of your images will be deleted and there's an "export all" feature to save them to your camera roll. But if you delete the app from a device, those images and edits will be gone for good, so make sure they're backed up somewhere.

Despite the quality of VSCO's edits, the app has always been a little confusing, so removing sync might actually make for an easier experience in some regard. And while the experience of making edits on one device and having them appear on another was nice, you can always export your edited photos to the camera roll and have the same image appear on another device thanks to iCloud's photo library or Google Photos. Given the amount of photo syncing and backup options out there, it does make sense for VSCO to stay firmly focused on editing.

VSCO also recently pushed out a visual redesign in the iPhone app, but most of those changes haven't come to the iPad yet -- maybe as the company removes its sync feature, it'll put the apps back on par from a visual standpoint.
