Focus 04 In progress Started June 17, 2026

Spaces

Making shared spaces feel like real, organized libraries — not just a shared pile of photos.

Release
June 23, 2026

v4.58.0

A release led by a refreshed web app look — a token-driven re-skin of the photo app applied entirely through design tokens — plus a new Has album timeline filter, a unified picker for adding photos to an album or a Shared Space from anywhere, a redesigned filter panel with a merged toolbar, a first-run empty state on mobile, and a set of shared-album and shared-space access fixes that let viewers and members see map pins, filter facets, and representative-face picking.
