- Settings are re-organised into clearer groups, with many rows renamed to say what they actually do. - Photo Library now has its own screen in Settings, right under Slideshow. - Background and Mat Board moved into Slideshow, next to the frame preview, so you can see each change as you make it. - Active album filters now appear as removable chips above the album list (thanks Karen for the suggestion!). - The frame preview screens are tidier: Appearance is a normal row under the Display switch instead of a button floating over the options. - Excluded Photos stays out of the way until you have actually hidden a photo. - Settings screens with a frame preview now show their name at the top instead of just a back arrow. - More of the app is translated, including the album filter chips and the Apple TV keyboard used for NAS setup. - NAS / WebDAV and Immich photos now show their date, camera, lens and location (thanks Mike and Rod for the reports!). - Downloaded NAS / WebDAV videos now show a preview frame instead of a blank slide. - Filter by Orientation and Combine Photos now work on the first streamed NAS / WebDAV slideshow (thanks Tim!). Thank you for reading this release notes! Please email me at info@digitalphotoframeapp.com any suggestions to make the App better for you. - Manuel

- WebDAV and Immich albums now have a Refresh option in the album's ⋯ menu: the app rescans your server, adds new photos and subfolders, removes deleted ones, and updates saved slideshows — no more deleting and re-adding the connection (thanks Mike for the suggestion!). - New "Favorites Only" setting (Settings, under Photo Library): point the frame at any album and it will show only the photos you've marked as favorites in the Photos app (thanks Karen for the suggestion!). - The albums screen's Sort & Filter now offers the same filters as inside an album: photos, videos, portrait, landscape, favorites, and date ranges. Album counts, browsing, and playback all follow the filter; saving a slideshow still saves the complete album (thanks Karen for the suggestion!). - Exporting a slideshow video now opens with an Export Options screen: choose the shape (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, or Original), the music (your slideshow's music, none, or a song picked just for this video), and whether to show each photo's title, date, and place. Your choices are remembered for next time. - Folders from the Files app and iCloud Drive now stay in sync on their own: added photos appear and deleted ones drop out, on Home and mid-slideshow. Photos not yet downloaded from iCloud are fetched automatically. - With a photo border enabled, the border now slides, zooms, and turns together with the photo during transitions — as if it were part of the print instead of the frame (thanks Dean Wylie for the detailed feedback!). Exported videos keep the previous fixed-frame look for now. - Adaptive Fill now offers the same Light and Dark background fills as the Fit mode, so photos that don't match your screen get a soft blurred backdrop instead of black bars. - Removed the newsletter and App Store rating pop-ups that appeared on their own (thanks Sev for the feedback!). - Filter by Orientation and Smart Pair now work for photos from NAS / WebDAV, Immich, and other web sources, and for saved slideshows whose photos load without a full Photos-library record — the app learns each photo's shape as it is downloaded or first shown (thanks Tim for the report!). A filter that would hide every photo now shows an alert instead of an empty slideshow. - Apple TV now uses its own remote-friendly keyboard for NAS / WebDAV and Immich setup, avoiding the system keyboard crash (thanks Dean Wylie for the detailed video report!). - The "Last Weekend" filter now actually selects Saturday and Sunday; it previously matched Friday and Saturday, so Sunday photos never appeared. - The Content Fit setting's summary now shows "Adaptive Fill" translated in all languages instead of always in English. - Closing a slideshow and reopening it now always starts from the first photo, whether you play an album directly or a saved slideshow. Scheduled slideshows still resume where they left off after an overnight pause. Thank you for reading this release notes!

- Simple Interaction Mode now offers a way back: an Exit Slideshow button, a hidden five-finger tap, or Touch & Hold — all Guided Access friendly and respecting Passcode Lock. - WebDAV folders now import their subfolders too. - Slideshows remember where they left off: scheduled sessions and app restarts continue with the remaining photos, so nothing repeats until everything has been shown (thanks for the report!). Works for saved slideshows and albums played directly, shuffle on or off. - Adding or removing photos no longer restarts a shuffled slideshow — new photos blend into what hasn't been shown yet. - Starting a slideshow from a specific photo now begins at that photo even when shuffle is on. - Better localization: counts follow each language's plural rules, Siri phrases work in all 13 languages, and schedules respect the 12/24-hour clock setting. - Feature Request votes and submissions stay tied to the correct email when switching accounts.

Please email me at info@digitalphotoframeapp.com any suggestions to make the App better for you. - Manuel

- Added Immich as a photo source: connect your self-hosted Immich server with an API key, browse your albums, and import the ones you want to play in your frame. - Added NAS / WebDAV as a photo source: connect a Synology, QNAP, Nextcloud, or any WebDAV server with your username and password, browse its folders, and import a folder's photos and videos. Servers using self-signed certificates are supported with an opt-in trust setting. - Immich and NAS / WebDAV now work on Apple TV: connect your server directly on the TV and your photos and videos stream during playback through a size-limited cache, so nothing needs to be stored on the Apple TV. - On iPhone, iPad, and Mac you can now choose how to add Immich and NAS / WebDAV media: download it to your device for offline playback, or stream it from your server to save storage. Thank you for reading this release notes! Please email me at info@digitalphotoframeapp.com any suggestions to make the App better for you. - Manuel

- The image information caption now fades out with the outgoing photo and fades in with the incoming photo during the Fade transition, so the caption and image always change together (thanks Andrew for the report!). - Fixed an iOS 12 launch crash by avoiding background Core Data warm-up and speculative Photo Library thumbnail prefetching on older devices. - Fixed a crash when launching the app from the Home Screen on iOS 12. Thank you for reading this release notes! Please email me at info@digitalphotoframeapp.com any suggestions to make the App better for you. - Manuel

- Create slideshows from scratch: a new + button on the Saved Slideshows screen starts an empty slideshow, and empty slideshows now show an Add Media button so you can fill them right away. - Tap any photo or video inside a saved slideshow to view it full screen, with the same browsing, sharing, and info options as albums. - Added a Calendar Events screen widget for slideshows, so upcoming events can appear over your photos with configurable calendars, event count, look-ahead range, details, position, and appearance. - Opening a photo or video from an album or a saved slideshow now zooms it up from its thumbnail into full screen, and you can swipe down to flick it back into place — the same fluid transition as the Photos app. - Slideshow video export now renders the mat board exactly like playback: mat color, paper and linen textures, and all bevel styles frame every photo, video, and Live Photo in the exported video. - Mat board bevels now always stay white and texture-free, even when the mat board uses a custom color or texture (thanks again Dean for the feedback!). - Fixed a Mac crash when opening Sort from the More menu in collection and album screens (thanks Claus for the report!). - Smart pair collages now export: two portrait photos share the frame side by side in the exported video just like during playback, including the same playlist pairing and order. - Face-aware fill now works in exported videos: the crop shifts toward detected faces exactly like playback (including inside pair collages), and the stretched fill mode now distorts the full image instead of a pre-cropped one. - Exported transitions now match playback much more closely: a real page curl and a 3D perspective flip replace the old crossfade and flat squash, vertical slide directions and rotation direction are corrected, and all transitions use the same easing curves as the player. - The Ken Burns effect is now included in slideshow videos exported from iPhone, which previously fell back to fades. Thank you for reading this release notes! Please email me at info@digitalphotoframeapp.com any suggestions to make the App better for you. - Manuel

- New Origami transition folds each photo away in halves like closing a paper map, with hinged panels and soft crease shading, inspired by the classic Photos Origami theme. - Saved slideshow content now shows a position number on each photo so it's clear in which order they'll play, updating live as you drag to rearrange. - Unified typography across the app: album titles on source screens now match the Home screen, and the Add Source screen uses the same font styles as the rest of the app. - Polished the Settings screen: the feedback banner now lines up with the width of the other sections, and the usage statistics in the footer use a monospaced font. - Fixed a family of crashes during slideshow playback when skipping slides while photo downloads were still queued — the download queue's internal state could get corrupted and crash later in unrelated places, including while videos were being cleaned up (thanks Manuel for the report!). - Improved slideshow image preloading across Photo Library, Files, Google Photos, and other URL sources so pair and collage layouts wait for display-ready images instead of showing black gaps, while keeping image decoding off the main thread. - Slideshow transitions now start instantly: upcoming photos are fully loaded and decoded ahead of time and kept ready in memory for every source — Photo Library, Files, Google Photos, Flickr, Unsplash, and offline slideshows — so images no longer pop in a moment after the transition, and videos show their poster frame immediately while the video loads. Thank you for reading this release notes! Please email me at info@digitalphotoframeapp.com any suggestions to make the App better for you. - Manuel

- Mat Board frames now include Off, Subtle, Classic, and Deep bevel controls plus Off, Paper, and Linen texture options for a more realistic framed-photo look (thanks Dean for the suggestion!). - Fixed Apple TV music playback not resuming after unmuted Live Photos or videos play during a slideshow (thanks Richard for the heads up!). - Fixed slideshows getting stuck on a loading icon and skipping to the next slide after running for a long time — the image download queue could be held up by iCloud-stored photos that never finished loading on older devices, and now recovers automatically with a timeout (thanks Anthony for the detailed logs!). - Fixed the video duration label appearance when browsing an album on iOS 26. - Fixed Apple TV Photo Library folders showing blank cover tiles until opening the folder. - Fixed NAS/SMB Files folders not always including photos and videos from subfolders (thanks Mike for the heads up!). - Fixed video export failing partway through on large slideshows — the app now checks for free storage before exporting and shows a clear message if there isn't enough space (thanks Sara for the report!). - Fixed the feedback email getting stuck on devices without a configured Mail account — the app now falls back to other mail apps and offers a Copy Email Address option (thanks Darrell for the report!). As always, thanks for using the app and helping me improve it. - Manuel

- Appearance settings now show a live preview of background color and mat board changes. - Quieter crash reports for known recoverable issues, including weather lookups when the device is offline. - Fixed video slides resuming from a spacebar pause with audio playing but the video frame frozen (thanks Andrew for the report!). - Fixed saved slideshows sometimes failing to start from the Home screen on older iPads after launch, while still working from See All (thanks Darrell for the detailed report!). - Fixed iPad and Mac crashes on iOS/macOS 26 caused by popovers opening without a valid anchor. - Updated the FAQ and moved it into Getting Started for easier help access (thanks Graham for the suggestion!). - Internal code cleanup. As always, thanks for using the app and helping me improve it. Manuel

- Added a Huge text size for the slideshow Date and Time widget on iPad, Apple TV, and Mac (thanks Manuel for the suggestion!). - Offer code redemption now uses the modern StoreKit sheet on newer systems and handles unavailable or cancelled redemption more cleanly. - Fixed a crash on iPad running iOS 26 when opening the Sort or More menu inside an album, and hardened other share and popover surfaces so they always anchor correctly. - Recover automatically when the saved-slideshow database can't be read on launch, instead of leaving the app stuck without a database.

- Photo location captions now lead with the place name (e.g. "Tour Eiffel, Paris, France") when available, with neighborhood, city, and country filled in to taste (thanks Richard for the suggestion!). - Added Full / Medium / Short location format options in the location caption settings so captions fit smaller screens — defaults to Medium. - Polished Apple TV navigation: restored the more menu, suggest-a-collection, and search, with clearer focus on settings rows and Add Media. - Fixed a launch crash on iOS 13 caused by the color picker delegate being available too early. - Fixed large HEIC photos from the Files source failing to load on older iPads (thanks Anthony for the heads up!). - Fixed the More menu for Curated Collections and Google Photos on older iOS versions.

- Exported slideshows now play real video clips and Live Photos to match the slideshow settings, including their original audio (ducked under the music track) when playback and mute settings allow it. - Redesigned the Add Source screen into three grouped sections — Connect an Account, Your Cloud Drives, and Discover — with a distinct Files card that spells out that adding Files also brings in iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive and other cloud storage already set up in the Files app. - Added a "Stay in the loop" newsletter signup in Settings → Discover, plus a one-time prompt after your first saved slideshow, so you can opt in to a short note when there's something new worth telling you about. - Polished the app for iOS 26 with shiny new Liquid Glass touches, so the controls feel right at home in Apple's glossy new world. - Added Object Name IPTC as a Title Configuration source, so photos using that field can drive the on-screen title. #### Improved - Slideshow exports now explain when music can't be added (DRM-protected Apple Music tracks, or curated songs still downloading) instead of producing a silent video. - Fixed on-screen weather, date, and image information widgets not appearing during a slideshow when their toggle was on, after restoring slideshow defaults and re-enabling them. - Fixed on-screen widget boxes still showing a border at 0% background opacity (thanks Erik for the heads up!). - Fixed on-screen photo caption showing the filename instead of the IPTC caption for Files-source images (thanks Andrew!).
