Highlights
Welcome to version v2.2.0 of Immich. This release comes with the traditional Immich fashion, where the features and enhancements list is longer than the bug fixes list. Let’s dive right into the highlights of this exciting release

v2versions - Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

- [Mobile] Show similar photos
- [Mobile] Chat-style for activity view
- [Mobile] High precision seeking for video
- [Mobile] New UI to present server-client version mismatch
- Option to create a new user as an admin
- Notable fix: older iOS devices freeze when spawning background tasks
- Notable fix: temporary files on iOS are now cleaned up properly
Docker tag for v2 versions
The example.env file has been updated to use IMMICH_VERSION=v2, which is a mutable Docker tag that points to the latest 2.x.x release image.
Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
OCR search has been one of the most requested features on our users' wishlists. Thanks to the fantastic work of @flipped-1121 and @mertalev, Immich can now recognize texts in images, adding a powerful capability to its already powerful search features. This will help users find lost family recipes or a crypto wallet’s passphrase more easily.
The OCR pipeline is integrated into the existing machine learning flow. For new uploads, it will run automatically with the existing machine learning flow. For existing setups, you can go to Administration > Job > Click on “All” for OCR job to extract OCR information for your gallery
To search for letters in photos, a new radio button has been added to the search type on the web app, and in the dropdown list on the mobile app.
[Web] WASM implementation for justified layout calculation 🦀
This release comes with a blazing-fast re-implementation of the justified layout on the web, which makes calculating the size of the thumbnails in each bucket several times faster, significantly improving the rendering performance for a large bucket, i.e., 10s of thousands of assets in a single month
[Web] UI improvement for the review duplicates screen
To help you decide which asset to keep in a group of duplicates, more information has been added to the info section below each asset, including date/time, location, and the number of albums the asset is in. The info section has been redesigned to make scanning the information faster, with different properties getting highlighted. We will keep improving on this interface to make it more intuitive
[Mobile] Show albums in the asset’s detail
You can view and navigate to the albums that the asset belongs to in the info sheet
[Mobile] Show similar photos
The popular feature “Show similar photos” has made its way to the mobile app. You can use the button in the detail sheet to find similar images to the one you are viewing.
[Mobile] Chat-style for album activity view
The album’s activity view now displays the messages and actions in a chat-style view, making it easier to follow
[Mobile] High precision seeking for video
The progress bar of the video player now has higher precision duration handling. This makes seeking much more fluid than before, as well as making position updates in the progress bar smooth, rather than jumping from second to second.
[Mobile] New UI to present server-client version mismatch
As we are now in the stable-era, we want to make the notification of a new version more subtle, less distracting. The update message and icon’s color on the mobile app have been redesigned for that purpose.
When your server version is older than the available one, a message with a clickable link is displayed, directing you to the latest release notes. When your mobile app version is older than the one available on the App Store, a message with a clickable link appears, directing you to the App Store to perform the update.
