A fresh new look. Picsta has been redesigned from top to bottom, with a new app icon and softer, calmer screens. Everything you use is still right where it was. Scroll and the header slides out of the way, then comes back the moment you scroll up. Tap the tab you're on to jump back to the top. Pull down to refresh your events and photos. See your plan at a glance: on every plans screen, the plan you're on is marked in green. Videos now upload just like photos: pick your clips, choose the sub-event and who can see them, then tap Upload. Smoother loading, gentle haptics, more reliable video uploads and many small fixes.

Import from Google Drive. In Upload, paste the link of a Drive folder shared with anyone who has the link, and Picsta brings the photos in on its own servers. You can close the app; you'll get one notification when it's done. Up to 1,000 photos or 10 GB a day. Find the photos you're in. Group members are now asked once whether Picsta may find the people in the group's photos, so Find me, People and Your Photos work for them too. Uploading videos asks the same question first. Joining a group, wherever you confirm your email. Sign up from a group link and confirm your email on another phone or computer, and signing in there takes you straight into the group. Updates, gently. Picsta now lets you know when a new version is ready, with one tap to update. Video uploads that get interrupted, when the connection drops or the screen locks, now try again by themselves, with a Retry button if they still can't finish. Plus small fixes throughout.

A clearer start. New accounts get a few short cards on how Picsta works: personal and group events, inviting members or sharing a link, and Find me. Professionals can add their studio name and Instagram right there. Private photos, made clear. In Share, Private photos now shows the lock a private photo carries, how to mark photos private, and three simple choices: leave them out, put them behind a PIN, or show them to everyone. Client albums now come with every professional plan: one on Free, two on Basic, and as many as you need from Advanced. Saving a shared gallery, explained. Tap Save on a gallery someone shared with you and Picsta now says what saving does and why it needs a free account, then finishes the save the moment you are signed in. Share sheet. Preview link, Copy link and WhatsApp hand out one link; a link you only previewed is not kept, and opening your own link no longer counts as a view. The Private photos row is always there and explains how to mark photos private and set a PIN. Credit line now reads "By" on every gallery, intro and preview. Professional accounts can credit a different name on one link's animated intro. Plus small fixes throughout.

Sneak peek for photographers: as soon as an event's photos are processed, Picsta picks the best of them. Choose the photos, frame a short trailer and send it to your client the same night. Filters to find photos by sub-event, people or favorites while you choose. Shared photo selections now have the same bar as shared galleries: All photos, Find me and Save. Title sequence intros are easier to read.

Professional plans are now available in the app. Sharing - Frame the cover and the animated intro separately for phones and laptops, zoom from 1x to 3x, and preview the link exactly as guests will see it. Finding people - With face recognition on, new photos are now scanned for people by themselves a couple of minutes after an upload. Process now is there if you want it sooner, and Settings has a switch to turn it off. Shared galleries - A gentle reminder to keep a gallery you enjoyed in your own Picsta, so you never need the link again. - Clearer guidance when some photos have not been scanned for Find Me yet. Plus faster uploads and many smaller fixes.

Shared a photo you did not mean to? You can now edit the photos on a link you have already shared. Open the link, tap Edit photos, untick the ones to remove or tick more to add, and save.

You can correct it from the verification screen now - The terms and conditions line on signup reads properly again

You now choose who can see the photos you add to a group event: everyone in the group, only the people in the photos (matched by their selfie, like Find Me), or only people you pick by name. Change your choice any time from the photo itself. Picking photos is much faster, and you see each photo appear as it imports instead of waiting on a spinner. Uploads in progress keep going even if you leave the app, and every upload row now shows its photo so you can see exactly which one failed or was skipped. The Members tab shows how many limited photos each member has added, so the group's photo count always adds up. Plus clearer group plan screens, fixed photo previews in the upload list, and many small fixes.

Adding photos is faster. Pick as many as you like and they appear straight away, with the HD choice made after picking, not before. Move or copy photos between your events, including into and out of group events. Taking your own photo out of a group removes it for everyone.

Menus open as a sheet from the bottom of the screen, so every option is easy to read and reach. Retaking your selfie updates Your Photos straight away. Fixes for the calendar in dark mode, the keyboard in search fields, creating a group event, and uploads that wrongly warned about duplicates.

Highlight reels from your whole library: one reel across every event, with the photos you appear in leading the cut. Create reels from any event or album too. Turn a personal event into a group event so everyone can add their photos. A brighter, warmer app icon. Clearer sharing: private and locked photos always stay out of shared links. Bigger buttons, easier taps, and lots of polish throughout the app.
