What's New in Photo Flashback

6.0.1

August 21, 2026

A fix for anyone who updated and found the app opening to a blank screen. • Fixed a blank screen on launch after updating from an older version. This update sets it right on its own — no need to delete and reinstall. • Your settings now reach the widget and the Messages extension again. • Reminders and the Messages extension now follow your device's language. • Small fixes and improvements.

Wonderful app

Every night at 9pm the app notifies me and I get to walk down memory lane. I also use it as an opportunity to prune my collection. As such I wish the delete button were bigger. Other than that I love this app.

This is awesome application!

I love this app. Simply awesome. It would be even better if it could scan files on a external hard disk - for people that have really lots of photos.

Love it!

What a wonderful idea to include the option to delete photos within the app! I’ve always been overwhelmed by the task of clearing out my photo album, but this makes it so easy since it’s just one day at a time. Obviously this app isn’t marketed as that, but that makes it unique as one of these flashback apps! I also love the clean interface. I’m looking forward to new features!
