NEW GRID STYLE: MOSAIC A wall of four to nine photos, each tile sized around the photo's own shape, with one big hero photo (two on the 9 photo wall). Tall and wide shots both look right, with only a sliver trimmed. Shuffle or shake for a new wall, step back through earlier walls, or tap any photo to see it full screen and come back to the same wall. FREE 4 PHOTO MOSAIC The 4 photo Mosaic is free, always. Try 6 photos (9 on iPad) and Play free for 10 minutes a day, then keep them with Rando Mobile or Rando Pro. Try 1 week FREE! GRID MODE ON YOUR TV Connect to a TV or external display with the Pages grid open and it fills the big screen, with your phone as the remote. Shuffle, step back and forward, or tap a photo to see it full screen on the TV. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE Analytics are more private: still off unless you turn them on, and they never include album, tag or folder names or your location. Links to Rando's Grid mode now open right into it. Plus small fixes and polish.

ENDLESS GRID MODE Open any album or folder and scroll an endless wall of random photos. Tap Reshuffle, or just shake your phone, for a fresh stream. Reshuffled too soon? Tap Back to return to the one you had. PAGES, IF YOU LIKE Prefer a page at a time? Switch to Pages for a 2x2, 2x3 or 3x3 grid (3x4 on iPad). Tap the arrows to step back through earlier pages, then forward again. TAP ANY PHOTO See it full screen, then return to the very same spot. The controls fade away after a moment, so your photos fill the screen. Rando even remembers the layout you used last. WORKS WITH PHOTOS AND FOLDERS Use albums from your Photos library or folders from Files, including iCloud Drive. FREE 2 COLUMNS, BIGGER GRIDS WITH RANDO MOBILE OR PRO The 2 column wall and the 2x2 page are free, always. Try bigger grids and Play, which keeps your wall moving on its own, free for 10 minutes a day. Then keep them with Rando Mobile or Rando Pro. Try 1 week FREE! YOUR CHOICE OF START Prefer one photo at a time? Choose Single under Settings, Slideshow, Open sources in. You can also switch any time with the Grid and Single button. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE Double-tap any spot on a photo to zoom right in, double-tap again to see the whole photo. The date and place caption now sits up top so it covers less of your photo (prefer the bottom? Settings, Media). Slideshow haptics now start switched off.

PHOTO CLEANUP Clean up your library while you watch. Tap Mark, or swipe up, on any photo you don't want. Rando moves on to the next one. When you're done, Review shows everything you marked. Keep what you want, then delete the rest in one step. PHOTOS: ONE CONFIRMATION Deleting photos from your library asks you to confirm once, for the whole batch. Deleted photos go to Photos → Recently Deleted, where you can still recover them. FILES AND FOLDERS Delete files from a folder in Rando after one confirmation. Files in iCloud Drive go to Files → Recently Deleted. Files on your device or in other providers are deleted permanently, so Rando asks first. FREE DELETES EVERY DAY Marking and Review are always free. Rando Pro removes the daily limit of 25 free deletes, so you can clean up as much as you like. PINCH, ZOOM AND PAN IN ONE MOVE Pinch to zoom now zooms right where your fingers are, and you can slide your fingers around while you pinch to move across the photo, just like in the Photos app. Lift one finger and keep dragging with the other. A zoomed photo never slides off the screen.

YOUR GIFS COME ALIVE. Animated GIFs now play in the slideshow on iPhone and iPad, from your Photos library and from your folders, instead of sitting on their first frame. They keep moving on the big screen in TV Mode too, and in the preview on your phone's remote. Animated WebP and PNG files play as well. KNOW BEFORE YOU PLAY. Pick a Pro transition or filter on iPhone or iPad and a short note now tells you it comes with 10 free minutes of preview each day, so the switch back to Cross-fade never looks like a glitch. Plus the usual polish and behind-the-scenes improvements to keep your photo rediscovery fast, smooth, and reliable. Thanks for using Rando!

FASTER SLIDESHOWS FROM ICLOUD. If your photos are stored in iCloud with Optimize iPhone Storage turned on, the slideshow no longer waits on a spinner for each download. You now see a preview of every photo right away, and the full-quality version takes its place as soon as it has downloaded. Rando also fetches the next few photos ahead of time, and tapping ahead no longer throws away downloads already in progress. WORKS OFFLINE TOO. With no connection, the slideshow keeps going with the previews already on your phone and shows a small "Offline. Showing preview." note. If a download is taking a while, a "Downloading from iCloud" caption tells you what is happening, and a photo that truly cannot be loaded is skipped instead of holding up the show. SEE WHEN AND WHERE A PHOTO WAS TAKEN. Tap the screen during a slideshow and, along with the controls, a small caption now shows the date the photo was taken, the place (like "Salisbury, MD") when you are online, and where you are in the show. It works for your Photos library and for folders in Files and iCloud Drive, and in TV Mode it appears on the phone's remote screen, not on the TV. Prefer a clean view? Turn it off under Settings, Media, Show photo info in slideshows. QUIETER SLIDESHOWS, IF YOU LIKE. A new Haptic feedback in slideshows switch under Settings, Media lets you silence the little taps you feel when you skip, pause, or switch modes, and saves a bit of battery too. Plus the usual polish and behind-the-scenes improvements to keep your photo rediscovery fast, smooth, and reliable. Thanks for using Rando!

SLIDESHOW TRANSITIONS Choose how each photo arrives. Cross-fade is free, as always. Rando Pro adds Ken Burns (a slow drift and zoom across every picture), Slide, Zoom, Flip, and Random. Pick a speed - Slow, Normal, or Fast - in Settings -> Slideshow or from the new style button right inside the slideshow. IMAGE FILTERS (PRO) Black & White, Sepia, and Vintage, straight from the Mac app. Applied live, never saved to your photos. PLAY ON YOUR TV (PRO) Open Control Center, tap Screen Mirroring, pick your Apple TV, then start any slideshow. Rando fills the TV with a full-screen show and your iPhone or iPad becomes the remote. Also works with an HDMI adapter. Videos stay on your device for now; TV Mode plays photos and skips videos until the show ends. RANDO MEMORY WIDGET Add the widget to your Home Screen, iPad Lock Screen, or StandBy and a forgotten photo greets you every morning. Rando Pro refreshes it up to hourly, lets you pick the album for each widget, and adds a Shuffle button. TRY PRO FREE Every Pro feature can be previewed free for 10 minutes a day. Standard slideshows stay free and unlimited. Rando Mobile unlocks it all on iPhone and iPad; already have a Mac? Rando Pro covers Mac, iPhone, and iPad in one subscription. Try 1 week FREE! NEW VERSION NOTICE Rando now lets you know right in the app when a newer version is on the App Store, with a one-tap Update button. It checks quietly, never more than once a day. Rando now requires iOS 17. 100% private. Photos never leave your device.

VIDEO SUPPORT Your videos now join the random rotation alongside your photos. What's New: - Videos in Photos albums and folders — Tap the random button or run a slideshow and your videos appear right alongside your photos, playing automatically (mute toggle in Settings → Media). - Live Photos — Live Photos in your library play their motion preview in the slideshow with a Live Photos badge in the corner. - Video scrub bar — Drag the slider on a playing video to scrub to any point; elapsed and remaining time labels help you find your spot. - Videos play to their natural end — The slideshow waits for the video to finish before advancing, instead of cutting it off at the photo interval. - Folder video support — Videos in folder sources (Files app, iCloud Drive, On My iPhone) are included too. A Settings toggle lets you change your mind later. - Smoother middle-tap — Fixed a glitch where tapping in the middle band of the screen during a slideshow didn't hide the controls reliably. Settings → Media lets you control video inclusion per source, audio behavior, and a duration cap for very long videos. 100% private. Photos and videos never leave your device.

FASTER, FRIENDLIER ALBUM BROWSING The albums you actually use are now where you can find them. What's New: - Recents pinned to the top - No more hunting. Recents leads the album list, followed by Recently Added and Favorites. - New "All Photos" album - Turn on the Hidden Album in Settings and a brand-new "All Photos" option appears at the top, pulling random images from your entire library — hidden ones included. - Smoother taps - Fixed a glitch where "See All" on the home screen could accidentally launch a slideshow instead of opening your album list. - Less interruption on first launch - The Mac companion app suggestion now waits until you've actually used Rando before saying hello. 100% private. Photos never leave your device.
