## What is Picsta?

Picsta turns your wedding, party or trip into a shared photo gallery everyone actually uses.

Upload your event's photos once. Picsta's own face recognition, running entirely on Picsta's servers, finds every face, so each guest can search for themselves with a single selfie and instantly see (and save) only their own photos. No more scrolling through hundreds of photos looking for the ones you're in, and no more group chats flooded with images.

GROUP EVENTS: EVERYONE CONTRIBUTES
Most events aren't captured by one camera. Group events let every guest upload their own photos straight into one shared gallery, so the wedding, trip or party comes together from everyone's phone, not just the host's.
• Invite contributors with a simple join link
• Everyone's photos are combined and face-matched automatically
• Any member can unlock more storage and contributor slots for the whole group with a single one-time purchase. No recurring subscription needed
• Every contributor gets their own personal highlight reel, auto-curated from the photos they're in, uploaded, or favourited
• See who's contributed what from a simple contributors tab

FOR HOSTS
• Create an event or album in seconds
• Face recognition on Picsta's own servers groups every guest, never sent to any third party
• Organise photos into albums, tag people, and mark favourites
• Turn your best shots into a printable photo book or a short vertical highlight reel for Instagram and WhatsApp
• Share a private link with an optional PIN to control who sees what

FOR GUESTS
• Open a shared link, take a selfie, and instantly find every photo you're in
• Save your own photos straight to your camera roll
• No account required to view. Sign in only if you want to save your finds

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
• Photos stay private to your event unless you choose to share a link
• Optional PIN-protection for sensitive photos
• You control who can view, download and re-share

Whether it's a wedding, a birthday, a work trip or a school reunion, Picsta makes sure every guest gets to relive the moment with their own photos, automatically.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.5 — 2026-09-02

Saved groups for sharing
Choosing who can see your photos just got faster. Save a set of people as a group, like "Family" or "Bridesmaids", then pick it again in one tap next time you upload.

Everyone gets told when photos arrive
When photos are shared with you, or your selfie matches new ones, you now get a notification instead of finding them by chance.

Your devices, your control
See every device signed in to your account in Settings, and sign any of them out on its own.

Fixes
- Photos taken seconds apart in a burst no longer get skipped as duplicates
- Fixed a crash when choosing who can see your photos
- Mistyped your email at signup? You can correct it from the verification screen now
- The terms and conditions line on signup reads properly again

### 1.2.4 — 2026-08-24

You now choose who can see the photos you add to a group event: everyone in the group, only the people in the photos (matched by their selfie, like Find Me), or only people you pick by name. Change your choice any time from the photo itself.
Picking photos is much faster, and you see each photo appear as it imports instead of waiting on a spinner.
Uploads in progress keep going even if you leave the app, and every upload row now shows its photo so you can see exactly which one failed or was skipped.
The Members tab shows how many limited photos each member has added, so the group's photo count always adds up.
Plus clearer group plan screens, fixed photo previews in the upload list, and many small fixes.

### 1.2.3 — 2026-08-20

Adding photos is faster. Pick as many as you like and they appear straight away, with the HD choice made after picking, not before.
Move or copy photos between your events, including into and out of group events. Taking your own photo out of a group removes it for everyone.
If a face looks like it might be you, Picsta now asks on your dashboard so you can confirm it in one tap.
Star an event and it goes straight to the top of your list.
Photos inside an event now show your newest additions first.
Notifications from the app now drop from the top of the screen and can be dismissed.
Fixed: group members reliably get a phone notification when someone adds photos.
Fixed: several small layout issues on iPhone.

### 1.2.2 — 2026-08-11

Swipe left or right to move between tabs, and swipe right from the first tab to go back.
Uploads now pause if you leave the app and carry on where they stopped when you return.
Your Photos is always in the menu, so you can add your selfie whenever you are ready.
Gentle vibration feedback when your face is matched, an upload finishes or a reel is ready.
Fixed: closing the menu on an event tile no longer opens the event.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-08

Pick several people at once to remove them, and bring anyone back from the removed people list.
Deleting a photo in full screen now takes you straight to the next one.
Menus open as a sheet from the bottom of the screen, so every option is easy to read and reach.
Retaking your selfie updates Your Photos straight away.
Fixes for the calendar in dark mode, the keyboard in search fields, creating a group event, and uploads that wrongly warned about duplicates.
