The Collect feature has been added to the Direct subscription plan. This feature gives site owners the ability to display a photo in multiple galleries without having to upload additional copies.
Creating new galleries is faster and more intuitive. When you create a gallery, the title field is automatically pre-filled and highlighted, so you can either keep it as is or instantly start typing your own title without any extra steps. It's a small change that saves you time with every gallery you create.
Your app is more reliable. We've eliminated crashes that interrupted your work and fixed issues preventing automatic uploads, so your memories and files are now safely preserved without you having to worry. The new vertical disk usage chart gives you a clearer picture of your storage with a beautiful redesign and visibility into more locations.
We've reduced the app's storage footprint on your device. The app was consuming far more space than it should, and we've fixed that so you get your precious storage back for the things that matter to you.
Auto Upload no longer gets stuck on incompatible files. Previously, a single video that didn't meet size requirements could block your entire photo library from backing up. Now the app skips problematic files and continues uploading everything else, so your memories are always protected.
We've improved our ability to diagnose and resolve the "Not Enough Space" error that was affecting some users. With enhanced logging, we can better understand these situations and work toward ensuring Auto Upload runs smoothly for everyone.
We've fixed crashes that were happening while your photos were uploading. The app was working too hard and shutting down unexpectedly, interrupting your uploads and your work. Now everything runs smoothly in the background without shutting down the app.
We've resolved issues causing Auto Upload to stall partway through. Some customers found uploads making good progress initially, then slowing or stopping completely. We've fixed this so your entire library now uploads consistently.
US Android customers can now sign up and subscribe directly through links in the app. This makes it easier and faster to get started or upgrade your account—simply tap and complete your subscription in your device's browser. No more workarounds or extra steps, just a streamlined experience that gets you access to the features you need.
We've fixed crashes on Samsung S25 devices caused by oversized folder thumbnails. The app was attempting to load thumbnail images that were far too large for display, causing it to crash when you browsed your folders. We've corrected this so thumbnails now load at the right size—keeping your browsing quality smooth, and quick.
We've resolved an issue where Lightroom wasn't automatically notifying you of SmugMug plug-in updates. Even when updates were available, you weren't seeing the prompt to install them—forcing you to manually check the plug-in manager yourself. Now Lightroom will properly alert you when new versions are ready, so you can keep your plug-in current without having to remember to check manually.
We've fixed the issue blocking 320 x 240 videos from uploading. This legitimate older size was being incorrectly rejected as too small. Now you can upload content from any source without that size restriction, preserving all your memories regardless of when they were captured.
