React with more than a heart
Hold the button, slide, release: eight reactions to choose from. Or just double-tap a photo to like it.

Your photos are no longer cropped
Every photo now keeps its own shape.

Albums, redesigned
They now fill the screen. Every photo has its own menu, and posting from an album files your media straight into it, no need to come back to it afterwards.

Every group sets its own rules
Six "Who can do what" settings: create an album, edit it, delete it, post, delete a photo, share the invite link.

Several admins per group
You can share a group's management with people you trust. The creator keeps the final say: only they can appoint admins or delete the group.
