Albums can be organized in folders, but there's no way to search for albums by name. Finding a specific album in large folder structures requires manual browsing.

Face detection allows tagging people and viewing photos of individual persons, but there's no way to find photos containing 2 or more tagged people simultaneously.

Current behavior: Motion Photos always keep both the video clip and the still image, consuming more storage than a regular photo. Problem: Users want to send/save just the still image without the motion component No built-in option to remove the video portion and keep only the photo Wastes storage space when Motion Photo isn't needed Proposed solution: Add an easy option to convert any Motion Photo to a standard still photo: "Convert to still" button in photo view/edit Extract and save only the keyframe as a regular photo Optionally delete the original Motion Photo after conversion

Current behavior: When browsing photos, if some happen to be Motion Photos, the app (or web app) forces the motion part to play in full before displaying the actual still photo. This creates an unnecessary delay when simply trying to view the image. Proposed solution: Add a setting to choose how Motion Photos behave when opened: Autoplay – plays the motion part automatically (current default behavior) Still only – displays the still photo immediately without playing the animation Tap to play – shows the still photo and lets the user tap to trigger the motion

Currently, images in an album are displayed from newest to oldest. It would be great if we could also sort them from oldest to newest. This sort order option already exists on the web app.

The loading time when the image gallery previews need to be fetched from the server is a lot slower in the iOS app compared to the web app. In the iOS app, fetching a gallery page of about 30 images takes around 12 seconds. In the web app it’s less than a second (Mobile Safari, same device). It would be great if the loading time could be improved in the iOS app. It’s quite a slow process trying to find a certain photo by scrolling through the timeline history.

It would be great if there was an option for a shared album to appear more like a “local” album, at least for accounts that are on the same storage plan. At the moment I can only view and upload pictures in a shared album. When sharing albums between family members, more features would be desirable. What I would like to do: Add an item in a shared album to my favourites. Add an item in a shared album to a “local” album. Have items from a shared album show up in the main timeline, just like if it was a “local” album.

There's a real lack of settings in the app. No security settings, no backup settings, no plan upgrade or data used etc, will this be added?

Allow the user to login via Biometric login, the 2FA in place only allows you to scan the QR code. Other competitor apps have this feature and I want this European app and company to succeed please add features like this. Keep it up!

Currently, if I set up automatic backup, it will try to backup all the photos that are already in that folder. It would be nice to have an option to disable this behaviour and have automatic backup only apply to new pictures to avoid duplicates and unnecessary bandwidth usage. As a sidenote, the option to not show folders with .nomedia files (folders that have been marked to be ignored by media apps) would also be nice.

I have an album which shows a different amount of elements/items on web and in the iOS app. Web app: “38650 elements”. iOS app: “38644 Items”. I assume this is because iOS cannot display some file formats. It would be interesting to be able to see a list of the file names that cannot be displayed. That way I could convert them to a different format.

Ability to mark a face on the photo, which was not detected by Face Detection. If there are photos with multiple faces and not all of them were detected, it would be nice to be able to select an area with that face and mark it either with a specific name already, or just with “not assigned” so it can be assigned later.

It would be nice to have list of labels / tags in use (along with a numer of photos where they are present). Something like a heatmap or a sortable list, where one could click on a tag/label and go to all the pictures with that specific tag/label.

On the People tab, allow to filter for pictures still having “not assigned” faces. If detected faces are grouped under a specific name/person, there should also be a group for those that are still not assigned to a specific name/person.

Currently you can only share albums, but we want to support to share also a group of album (folder).

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.
