Release Notes.

Discover all the new features and improvements with each update.

Version 1.8.0

June 2026

New

  • GIF capture: choose GIF on the capture type screen to record a short animated clip styled with your layout — guests can share or save the looping GIF.
  • Added a launch readiness screen when you start an event: grant camera and photo library access in one place, and see at a glance whether your device is plugged in and has enough storage so a session won't be interrupted.

Improved

  • Improved stability on older iPhones and iPads, fixing several rare crashes.
  • The photo gallery is more reliable — deleting photos now works smoothly every time.
  • Smoother, more responsive browsing in the templates gallery.
  • Less waiting right after you take a photo.
  • More accurate translations across all eight supported languages.
  • Tap a template in your event to preview it full-size and jump straight into editing.
  • Wider, more reliable device support — PhotoBooth now runs on iPhone and iPad models going back to iOS 15.
  • Faster, smoother layout and flow-screen pickers — previews now load ahead of time and fill in progressively instead of freezing.
  • Printing now remembers the printer you picked — photos print straight to it instead of asking you to choose every time (falls back to the print dialog if it's unavailable).

May 2026

Fixed

Version 1.7.0

  • Sharing screen action buttons now display as icons instead of text labels for a cleaner, more compact layout.

  • Improved sticker category organization, thumbnail prefetching, template loading responsiveness, and event/settings screen consistency.

Fixed
