What's New in PhotoAura
2.1
August 1, 2026
Version 2.1 — A complete rebuild. PhotoAura has been rewritten from the ground up around a single idea: your photos should look and feel as beautiful in the app as they do in real life. WHAT'S NEW A new editorial design system. Serif headlines, calm dark canvas, generous breathing room — the same look your photographer's web gallery uses, now on your phone. iOS 26 Liquid Glass navigation. A floating glass tab bar that minimizes while you scroll, frosted nav titles that condense as content slides under, and per-photo glass action buttons. Apple Photos–style viewer. Tap any photo to open it full-screen. Drag down to dismiss with a smooth crossfade. Pinch and double-tap to zoom. Swipe between photos with a thumbnail filmstrip at the bottom. Full-resolution downloads. Save and share now pull the original file from your photographer's server — not a compressed display copy. Smarter caching. Galleries you've viewed load instantly on return. Up to 1 GB of disk cache so revisits don't re-download. Face filter improvements. Faster detection, larger tap targets, smoother filter animations. Multi-photographer support. If you work with more than one PhotoAura-powered studio, switch between them from the sign-in screen. Magic-link auth + Universal Links. Tap the sign-in link in your email on your iPhone — it opens straight into the app, no copy-paste. Password sign-in fallback. For repeat sign-ins or App Store reviewers who need a deterministic flow. Account management. Edit your name and username, manage linked emails on the web, and delete your account permanently from inside the app. Light + dark mode. The app respects your iOS appearance setting throughout. Performance. The first paint of every screen is significantly faster than 1.x. Memory use is down. Animations honor Reduce Motion. Privacy. A full PrivacyInfo manifest declares exactly what we collect (email, name, your photos) and what we don't (no tracking, no analytics, no ad networks). Your account can be deleted in two taps from the Profile tab. Thank you to the photographers and clients who tested early builds — this version is what you asked for.
