A feature release about getting photos into collections faster and finding them more precisely. One action now adds every photo matching your filters — up to 50,000 — to an album or Space from anywhere in Gallery, and a new Text filter narrows the timeline by caption, filename, or the words recognized inside your photos. It rides on a refreshed Immich v3.0.2 base, with mobile filters reaching web parity and memory types now configurable per person.
Set your filters, then add every matching photo — not just the page you can see — to an album or Space in one action. It works from the timeline, Spaces, albums, the map, favorites, archive, and a person’s photos, paging through up to 50,000 results behind the scenes so nothing is left behind.
A new Text section in the filter panel narrows your timeline by caption, original filename, or the words recognized inside your photos — receipts, signs, screenshots. Matching is accent-insensitive, and every filter lives in the URL, so a filtered view is a link you can bookmark or share.
Memories are no longer one-size-fits-all. Admins choose which kinds of memories Gallery generates, and each person can switch individual types on or off in settings — with disabled types hidden from the Memories feed instead of quietly filling it.
Administrators can now merge the same person across different owners’ libraries — useful when two members each named the same face. It stays off by default behind an explicit admin toggle, requires a deliberate confirmation, and notifies every affected owner in-app after the merge.
The mobile filter sheet catches up to the web panel: sections are collapsible, and you can reorder or hide the ones you don’t use through a new Manage Sections screen. Your layout and collapsed state persist between sessions.
The fork moves onto the Immich v3.0.2 base — a maintenance release folded in on top of every Noodle feature. It brings a fix for how recently added photos are grouped on mobile, iOS scroll-to-top matching the system tab-bar gesture, HLS video-variant configuration, OAuth account linking, and search metadata for album share links — with no schema migrations required.
Upstream v3.0.2 reparsed timeline dates to local time while the server still buckets by UTC, which re-emptied Recently Added for viewers in negative-offset time zones. Gallery restores UTC-stable bucketing so freshly imported photos land at the top again, everywhere.
The add-to-collection and other filter-bar actions no longer collide with the timeline scrubber on the right edge, keeping both reachable on dense libraries.
The background-location disclosure strings lost their Noodle Gallery branding during the upstream refresh; they are restored across locales.
A v3.0.2 regression dropped the mobile app’s local-database reset used on sign-out and recovery; it is restored so a clean slate really is clean.
