If you use or have used Batch on your iPhone, you likely received an e-mail yesterday announcing the app's demise. As of yesterday, the app is no longer available. And after Thursday, November 8, all of your photos on Batch will be deleted. The e-mail outlines the three-step process needed to rescue your photos. In case you missed the e-mail from Batch yesterday, here's how you get your Batch photos before they're gone.

1. Visit the Batch Web site from your computer.

2. Log in using your Facebook account.

3. Click the Download Photos link.

That's it. Easy as 1, 2, 3. If you tried out Batch, you have one week from today to perform this simple procedure.
