Immich v1.136

We’re excited to announce that PixelUnion Immich instances are now rolling out the upgrade to version v1.136.0! This midsummer release brings a host of innovative features and improvements, making your media management experience smoother and more delightful than ever.

Let’s explore the highlights of this feature-packed update:

Key Features and Enhancements in v1.136.0

  • Beta Timeline, Sync, and Upload Mechanism: Immich introduces a completely reworked timeline, sync, and upload system in beta mode. The new data sync runs in a background thread, keeping the app responsive even during large synchronizations. Data is now streamed for faster loading, and sync calculations are performed server-side for improved speed and lower mobile CPU usage. The timeline and album views have been rebuilt for smoother navigation, lively animations, and better offline support. Uploads are now managed by the OS, allowing for reliable background uploads and parallel processing, with a new upload detail page to monitor progress and issues.
  • Android Home Screen Widgets: Following the popular iOS widgets, Immich now brings home screen widgets to Android! Display random images, memories, or favorites directly on your Android device’s home screen, with many improvements from the iOS version incorporated.
  • iOS Widget Improvements: iOS widgets now support servers using insecure HTTP connections and WebP thumbnails, cache the latest image for offline use, and offer direct deep linking to images in the app. You can also choose to show images from your Favorites in the Random Widget, and enjoy improved error descriptions and rendering on tinted home screens.
  • Deep Links: Immich now supports deep linking, allowing you to open specific assets, albums, or memories directly in the app using supported URLs (e.g., immich://asset?id=<asset id> or https://my.immich.app/photos/<asset id>). This enables seamless navigation from browsers, automation frameworks, or Apple Shortcuts.

We are grateful to all contributors for their hard work and dedication to making Immich better with every release.

Enjoy the new features and improvements in v1.136 on your PixelUnion Immich instance!
