We’ve significantly improved the performance of your gallery! Scrolling through your photos and videos is now perfectly fluid, even if you have a massive collection of videos.

Additionally, we’ve added a smart data-saving feature. The app will now intelligently download high-quality thumbnails from iCloud only when you’re connected to Wi-Fi, helping you preserve your mobile data plan.

We’ve resolved an issue where the names you assigned to people in your photos could sometimes disappear when you imported new images. Now, your customized face labels will be reliably preserved!

We’ve added a new “Eco Mode” (Screensaver) that automatically darkens your screen during long indexing processes. It displays friendly, time-contextual messages while working quietly in the background. This is perfect for letting Memoria process your photos overnight without draining your battery or risking OLED burn-in! You can also activate it manually anytime by tapping the “Moon” icon in the progress bar.

You will now see a handy pop-up window listing all the new features and improvements right after you update the app. No more guessing what changed!

What’s new

Organize with Albums

A brand-new Albums screen now groups your photos and videos by folder. Simply swipe right from your library to open it, and tap any album to see its contents.

Full control over your collections

You can now easily create, rename, and delete your own albums. Creating a new album is as simple as tapping the dedicated tile at the top of the list, and all your albums are neatly sorted alphabetically. Adding photos and videos to an album is a breeze using the dedicated tile at the top of the grid, and you can remove media just as easily.

Search your albums instantly

Looking for a specific album? You can now find your albums directly from the search bar. Just type part or all of your album’s name to see its contents and matching suggestions.

Improved Face Grouping

• Reliable Names: The names you assign to face groups are now securely saved, even after a fresh analysis, app restart, or when merging groups. Merging two groups will also no longer make the person’s name disappear.
• Clearer Progress: The People screen now displays the exact progress of face analysis, showing the number of processed media instead of a static message. You’ll also see a clearer message explaining that face groups will appear once your library analysis is complete.
• Bug Fixes: The face scan notification will now properly dismiss itself once the scan finishes.

Media indexing now starts immediately and reliably right after you finish the initial setup.

Storage cleanup

We’ve freed up your phone’s storage by automatically removing old, unused transcription models.
