What's new
- a photo map reachable from Search — your located photos (on-device and cloud) plotted with thumbnail pins, a tap-to-open place drawer you can save as an album, a city search, dark map tiles, and offline place names
- mirror to local (opt-in): the metadata you strip on upload is also applied to the on-device original, so your local copy reflects the same changes
- RAW photos now get a thumbnail and preview, in the app and on the web
- a reworked details sheet, unified across photos, videos and sources — the place name sits in the overview, and videos show resolution and length
- a reworked calendar — one continuous, month-snapping view (the old month-by-month pager is gone), a search overlay that jumps you to any month, year or description, and a day view that opens as a full-bleed album grid
- multi-select extended to shared albums and the hidden vault
- the always-on backup notification is off by default now — backups keep running quietly in the background
- more robust photo recognition after a reinstall
- vertical videos no longer appear sideways on the web
- the cloud-album filter can exclude everything and then re-include folders one by one
- the device-folder list stays visible even when every folder is hidden
- the gallery header and navigation stay reachable when the library is empty
- the photo grid no longer jumps when you enter selection mode
- clearer progress while saving and syncing, and the in-app update check runs on its own
- a background-restart crash during backup is fixed
