What's New in Glass

5.5.1

September 30, 2026

We've fixed an issue where push notifications could silently stop working until you reinstalled the app. Glass now reconnects your device automatically, and in Notifications settings you can "Reconnect This Device" if needed. Sign-in got a more secure foundation behind the scenes and Help center now opens neatly within the app.

Best app for the craft

No nonsense, no social engineering, no gatekeeping, just love of the craft and authenticity

Highly recommend

This is the only social media platform that I spend time on and actually feel happier for the time I spend. It is everything that my optimistic younger self imagined that technology could be. Artistic, creative, human, and a wholesome place to connect.

A refreshing place for photographers

Glass is exactly what a photography community should feel like. No advertising, no engagement-driven algorithms, and no pressure to chase likes — just a place to enjoy photography with passion.

The interface is beautiful, clean, and incredibly pleasant to use. It makes you proud to share your work while also making it easy to discover and appreciate the photography of others who share the same interests.

I would even recommend the free plan if you simply want to browse and discover great photography. The regular membership is well worth it if you want to participate and share your own work, and the Patron plan is a great option if you want to go a step further and support the community and the independent team behind Glass.

It feels less like a traditional social network and more like a true community built around the love of photography. Highly recommended.

Exquisite

For me personally, being far from a platform that is a melting pot of everything(IG) away from photos and groups (Flickr) away from AI based only (500px) is worth the money that I’m paying(no Ads). This platform gives you a sharing photos experience only(no dumb size cropping required to post). Is clear that those who’s working behind LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY.
Honestly I was such an enthusiastic one, after a period of time, but slowly I’ve started to understand how does it works. If you get in, you have to have lots of fake smiles to gift everyone who works behind the screen just for having a peace of time with photography. You have to follow all, as if they were Master from Magnum agency, but you have to discover by yourself who they are. It’s a seek and hide game, if you miss one, well that’s pretty much of it. You’re out or less considered. If you became patron they won’t see you as a client who is paying they favorite hobby’salary , they just need attention, as photographers , but especially for the huge work they’re doing behind. lol enjoy.

Response from developer

We love to hear that. So glad to hear you’re finding a lot of value from us!

Deutsche Übersetzung

Nach 5 Jahren, hätte ich mir eine deutsche Übersetzung der App gewünscht.

Response from developer

Der Aufbau einer robusten, mehrsprachigen Community ist eine enorme technische Herausforderung, auch wenn uns bewusst ist, welchen Nutzen Übersetzungen in verschiedene Sprachen für unsere Nutzer hätten. Vorerst konzentrieren wir uns auf allgemeine Aspekte, wissen Ihr Feedback jedoch sehr zu schätzen. Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit für eine Bewertung genommen haben!
