Release

November 4, 2026

v5.10.0

v5.10.0 brings Spatial Scene, which turns a photo into a 3D scene that moves with your pointer or your phone. Library Cleanup arrives on the web and in the app, with a daily rewind and queues for the photos you no longer need. Search on the phone is rebuilt around live filter chips, and database backups can now go to S3. On the web, photos now zoom out of the timeline into the viewer and back.

Spatial Scene

Mobile search, redesigned

Search on the phone becomes a mode of the Photos tab: type @people, #tags, places or years, add filter chips with live counts, and watch the results narrow as you go.

Database backups to S3

backupsS3object storageadmin

On a server that keeps its photos in S3, scheduled database backups go to the same bucket, so losing the server's disk no longer takes the backups with it.

Face review with context

Reviewing a face suggestion now shows the photo's date, place, camera, albums and who else is in it, and every verdict has its own key.

Workflows for Shared Spaces

Face suggestions

Face recognition plays it safe and skips the close calls. Gallery brings those near-misses back to you, one face at a time, on the person page where they belong.

Face cleanup

peoplefacesadmincleanup

When recognition does get it wrong, a console finds the mixed-up clusters and lets you re-home every face, guided by a scan or by hand on anyone you pick.
