2025-08-07What’s Changed
Advanced Image Editor
We are releasing a new and advanced image editor that add more cropping frames, filter presets for quick edits, fine tuning options including saturation, contrast, brightness, temperature and a lot more. The new editor also includes the ability to draw on your photos and add emojis as stickers.
Smart Albums
You can now automatically add photos of selected people to any album. Just go the album, and select “auto-add people” from the overflow menu. If used along with shared album, you can share photos with zero clicks.
Improved Gallery
We have added the ability to group your gallery by weeks, months, and years. You can now customise your gallery to look exactly the way you want with these new grouping options, along with custom grids
