Include Some Kind of iOS 16 Support in the iOS App, and provide promises about future legacy support
The ask here is not for full iOS 16 support iOS 16 users all know they are on old devices and are losing access to a lot of apps, including this platform. Current and future legacy users would still benefit substantially from at least an ability to upload their photos, even if many other features are not available. iOS 16 is the current legacy version of iOS, buuuut it is a weird one: It continues to receive security updates, e.g. official support. All devices that supported iOS 17 (the current iOS requirement for the app at time of posting) also support iOS 18. There is virtually no reason to provide support for iOS 17 over iOS 18. Practically, this adds only one model, the iPhone 8 (and 8+), which is still in use by slow adopters and users with limited means. On the silicon level, the iphone 8 shares its cpu/chipset with the iphone X (A11 “Bionic”), which is currently supported by the app on iOS 18. (and so there are no concerns about performance here) The 8 was the year’s budget model of the same year as the iphone X, and continued to be popular as users were wary of the face recognition unlock. It was available for purchase well after the X was discontinued as the budget option. The 8+ was among the first generation of devices that had multiple cameras. It’s still a good / “good enough” camera. (if a developer wouldn’t mind just trying to compile with the os support version set to iOS 16 to see what happens, we could have a conversation.)

Make labels and tags editable
I want to be able to edit my custom labels, face detection labels or OCR labels, for spelling errors, changing them or simply deleting. Currently there’s no way to edit or delete any of the labels. I can remove them from the picture, but they are still there somewhere. Not sure about the OCR labels, perhaps they are deleted once removed from the picture and no other picture has them. But for sure my custom labels are still there and can’t be deleted.

Improve sharing options and access control
It would be useful to have the option to protect shared content with a password, adding an extra layer of security. Additionally, allowing shared albums to remain accessible without a fixed expiration date would improve usability, as the current setup requires defining an end date.

Show local media and allow re-uploads
The app only displays photos and videos that have already been uploaded, with no option to view media stored locally on the device. This makes it difficult to upload new items or manage existing ones. Additionally, if a photo or video is deleted from the cloud, there is no way to re-upload it. Providing access to local media and allowing re-uploads would significantly improve usability and give users better control over their backups.

Improve location editing usability
Currently, setting the location of a photo or video is only possible by placing a pin on the map, which can be cumbersome and imprecise, especially for exact locations. I suggest adding the option to enter an address or GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude) directly. This enhancement would make location editing faster, more accurate, and more user-friendly, particularly for users who already know the exact location details.

Manual trigger for sync proces
Sometimes if I open the app (iOS) I can see several pictures which are not synced. Even if I go into the settings screen, nothing happens (WLAN is available AND it is recognized by the App - WLAN Symbol at the top right). At the moment I have to change the settings, if I’d like to trigger the sync process (I think, this is working??). It would be nice, if I could just press the sync-symbol right beside the number of pictures to be synced to start the sync process (and of course the check for WLAN, if this is a thing).

iOS/Android(?): Show sync activity
At the moment, sync activity is not visible in the Picture-View, only in the Settings-Screen. Maybe one can see the running sync process for the current object (picture/video), but if that object is not on the screen, the user cannot see, if the sync process is running. Idea: show sync activity e.g. as a circling sign around the profile/settings button. Or as a progress bar around the icon. Or a small string “sync in progress” with a moving background progress bar (background color grows from left to right). As soon as the synchronization is done, the string disappears.

Adding .gif file support
Provided how prominence animated gif files are, it would be extremely valuable to be able to upload and view animated gifs within zeitkapsl.

Vertical miniatures in the albums are "squashed" to fit in horizontally
In the albums, if there are vertically aligned photos their miniatures are made to fit horizontally. This makes them look “funny” and distorted. It’s fine on the main Photo page, were all the photos are listed. So I’d like to see the same behavior in the albums as well :)

Show in the photo info to which albums it's included in
I’d like to know to which albums a photo is assigned, when I check the photo’s info page. This way I’d know if I already added a photo to the album or not, or that perhaps I have too many albums with a specific photo :)

Merge albums
If I upload 2 different folders with photos related to the same event, I end up with 2 separate albums. I’d like to merge them into 1 album, without the need to remove all photos from one of the albums and re-add them into the other one. Like select 2 albums and mark the “primary” and the “secondary”, to know which album name to take.

iOS - Quick selection of pictures
When creating albums, I need to select dozens or hundreds of pictures in the app. As it is now, I need to tap each of the pictures one by one. On other apps, I can hold my finder on a picture and scroll down and it will select rows of pictures. Can we get this in the app?

Share photos/albums using a custom domain
When sharing albums I’d like to use my own domain instead of a link with app.zeitkapsl.eu… This is one of the features in ente I quite like.

iOS: Improve user feedback that a photo has been queued for upload
When a photo is added to backup, there is no user feedback that anything happened. This applies in the single photo view as well as in the gallery view if offline. Suggestions: In the single photo view, show a toast message as feedback that the photo has been added to the upload queue. Do not show the "Add to backup" menu item in the "3 dot" menu anymore. In the gallery view, show a different icon than "crossed out cloud" if the photo has been queued for upload but is not yet uploaded ("dashed cloud" maybe?).

It would be great to have a sort of Tree View navigation and preview option. It would be better to navigate through folders and its subfolders.

Configurable automated media resizing and convertor
Hello. I'd like to suggest either in context of Space Saver or (if you find it more reasonable) as a separate feature: picture size reduction (or upper limit, kinda size gate). The main task for this functionality would be unification of all pictures in format and size (e.g. all uploaded Fotos are changed to a configured resolution/size and/or converted to a configured format/container e.g. HEIC or JPEG). More complicated features would be: performing this action automatically upon upload or manually in batch and maybe something similar to videos (which brings more overhead comparing to pictures of course). The expected result would be the reduction of used storage (I know, you get paid for this, but it might attract more people) and avoid format and naming conflicts (in my case: after migrating all the photos and videos from iPhone and Google Photos I ended up with a colorful bouquet of formats, file names, extensions and sizes. Much of those sizes are clear overkill as most people don't show them at giant ads screens in New York and Tokyo, but rather post and watch only at smartphone-size screens). While the possible implementation might be relatively uncomplicated, given the variety of available software tools for dealing with photos, the result would save users significant amount of occupied storage and thus attract and help to stick with Zeitkapsl for longer.
