Update: I rolled back my PLEX in my Shield TV and I have confirmed the Photos library is there. Now I have to sideload the previous version from January 2026.

Photo libraries are not included in the new app on any platform, maybe it’s in Roku, but I don’t use that. They’ve said it’s coming back at some point, but no eta…also when it does, the Plex Photos app will be retired.

At this point they should “retire” this entire mess of a product.
