What's New in PhotoJoy

1.5.0

October 1, 2025

This is probably the biggest update in the history of updates*. There's a totally new feed view that makes pictures bigger so you get the full joy right up front. Gemma didn't love it right away, so there's an option to switch back to the original feed view if that one was more your style. There are also improvements to inviting people into the app, making it simpler for you (and them) to get into PhotoJoy. Let us know what you think, and what you'd like to see next! *for PhotoJoy this year
