Photos Beta Feedback

The problem does not necessarily happen with the “third or fourth” photo

Thanks @jlago11. I figured out the issue and have a fix for it that should be coming soon.


1px line of the previous photo on the left hand side

Thanks for the feedback @President_Nulagi I haven’t been able to figure this one out yet, but will keep looking.

When loading an image it will initally display, then flash black once

This issue happens when we swap the low-res thumbnail for the high-res image (we show the thumbnail until the full image finishes loading). The larger image can take a bit of time to render, even after it’s been downloaded, so you see a stutter. I have a fix for this, also arriving soon.


support for heic files from iOS

Thanks @tdi651, there’s an existing feature request for that here. The Photos app theoretically already has the pieces needed for it to work, however the server doesn’t currently support newer image formats (like HEIC, JPEG XL, and others). I believe the server team is looking into fixing this soon, though I don’t have a timeframe to share (it’s a bit of a complicated problem).
