The team behind Immich has rolled out version 2.1, marking the first update since its recent stable 2.0 release just two weeks ago, bringing performance improvements, usability tweaks, and bug fixes across the board. Here are the most important ones.
On the web side, the slideshow shuffle feature now feels a lot smarter. The updated algorithm ensures a more even distribution of photos and fewer repeats, which should make large galleries flow much better. Moreover, users can also now specify seconds and milliseconds when editing timestamps.
Another notable addition is the “Upload to Stack” option. This new menu entry lets users upload files directly into an existing stack, streamlining the management of grouped photos and videos.
Shared album users also get a nice upgrade this time. The app now includes in-app notifications for album invitations and updates. Whenever someone adds new content to a shared album, everyone gets a notification and can jump straight into it. According to devs, it’s part of a growing effort to bring more real-time features to the platform, which may eventually extend to mobile push notifications.
And speaking of mobile, one particularly annoying issue has been fixed—the search page no longer jumps back to the top when loading more results. The infinite scroll now works smoothly, making browsing large collections far less frustrating.
Aside from these highlights, Immich 2.1 includes dozens of bug fixes and performance tweaks across web, mobile, and server components. These range from dark mode improvements and iOS live photo downloads to database query optimizations and fixes for IPv6 startup issues.
