## What is Canvas Slideshow?

Canvas Slideshow turns iPhone and iPad into a beautiful, hands-free photo display. Choose albums from Apple Photos or optionally add selections from Google Photos, then let your memories unfold in a flexible slideshow.

Use Fill or Fit framing, natural single-photo and grouped layouts, smooth transitions, and optional clock, date, overlays, and audio. Live Photos can play inside their own tile. Customize timing, colors, and presentation, then save presets for different rooms or moods.

Canvas reads only the photo sources and albums you authorize. Your settings and selections stay on your device. There is no Canvas account, advertising, or tracking.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-11-02

Canvas now supports iPhone as well as iPad. Enjoy your albums in portrait or landscape with layouts and controls that fit your screen.

Set up your frame, choose albums, adjust playback, and customize separate portrait and landscape overlay layouts on iPhone.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-10-25

Customize your frame with movable overlay blocks. Tap Edit Layout in the slideshow to move the clock and details, weather, weather scale, and photo-date block. Portrait and landscape keep separate layouts, with automatic or manual text alignment, optional snapping, Cancel, and Reset.

Portrait now starts with the clock at the bottom left and weather beside it. Your existing landscape arrangement stays unchanged until you customize it.

This update also improves saved Photos album recovery and reconnection, preserves shuffle progress while albums recover, and fixes slideshow exit controls.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-10-20

Canvas now keeps track of selected albums more reliably when Photos updates your library. Temporarily unavailable albums stay selected, and slideshow progress is preserved while they reconnect. This update also improves shuffle recovery so returning photos are shown before a new cycle begins.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-10-18

Choose Feels like, Temperature, or Dew point for the right-side weather scale. Temperature scales use a cold-to-hot range and your device’s temperature units, and your choice is remembered.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-10-11

Shuffle now works through every eligible photo before repeating, including photos shared across selected albums. Shuffle progress is saved across restarts, and temporarily unavailable photos remain queued for retry. Canvas also warns when a selected album is unavailable so missing albums cannot silently reduce your slideshow.

Live Photos now stay still after playing once when looping is off, preventing unintended replays during slideshow updates and transitions.
