Caution

BREAKING CHANGES

IMMICH_MEDIA_LOCATION (#19995)

Note: if you DO NOT have IMMICH_MEDIA_LOCATION in your .env file, or if it is set to a path that starts with a / (absolute path), THIS BREAKING CHANGE DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU. Users of the all-in-one image (e.g., the unraid app) for instance are not affected.

---

If you have a custom IMMICH_MEDIA_LOCATION environment variable set to a relative path, you will have to do the following process:

1. Stop Immich (docker compose stop):
2. Update Immich (docker compose pull)
3. Update the environment variable to an absolute path, for example:

-IMMICH_MEDIA_LOCATION=./my-library
+IMMICH_MEDIA_LOCATION=/usr/src/app/my-library

4. Start Immich (docker compose up -d --force-recreate)
5. After the server successfully starts up, connect to it (docker exec ``*-it*`` immich_server /bin/sh) and run immich-admin change-media-location. When prompted, enter the appropriate values. For example:

docker exec -it immich_server /bin/sh

$ immich-admin change-media-location
...
? Enter the previous value of IMMICH_MEDIA_LOCATION: ./my-library
? Enter the new value of IMMICH_MEDIA_LOCATION: /usr/src/app/my-library

  Previous value: ./my-library
  Current value:  /usr/src/app/my-library

  Changing database paths from "my-library/*" to "/usr/src/app/my-library/*"

? Do you want to proceed? [Y/n] y

Matching database file paths were updated successfully! 🎉

You may now set IMMICH_MEDIA_LOCATION=/usr/src/app/my-library and restart!

Background/Motivation

Relative paths have implied ambiguity, as they depend on the current working directory to resolve correctly, leading to issues like (#4465). This change removes this ambiguity and sets up the project to transition away from files living at /usr/src/app/upload entirely. Currently, the upload folder lives at /usr/src/app/upload/upload, which is very confusing… for everyone. This change opens to door for a future migration to something like IMMICH_DATA=/data, which a more sensible setup.

API Key changes (#20113)

Note: This change may affect the use of third-party applications, such as ImmichGo, ImmichKiosk, or ImmichFrame.

This release includes a change to how API Keys work, specifically when used with routes that don’t require a specific permission. Previously, a scoped API Key could access these routes, but they will now throw a forbidden error. Routes without a declared scope now implicitly require the “all” permission.

Highlights

Welcome to release v1.136.0. This midsummer release is the culmination of the team's labor of love for the Immich community, featuring the introduction of a new timeline and sync mechanism in beta mode, Android widgets, and one of the last breaking changes we want to make before reaching the stable release milestone. Let’s dive right into it.

• Beta mode for the new timeline, sync, and upload mechanism
• Android widgets
• iOS widget improvements
• Deep links

Beta timeline, sync, and upload mechanism

Note

This is only supported when both the server and the mobile app are updated to v1.136.0

This is a series of work that has been happening for months under the hood, from the changes in the database query engine, server’s queries, and support logic, to integrating a whole new database on the mobile app, and rewriting almost all aspects of the mobile app, you can now try the new timeline with data sync mechanism, and upload rework by go to the App Settings > Toggle the Beta timeline button. After toggling, you will be directed to a screen where data migration is executed automatically. You can then proceed to the new experience.

You can distinguish the beta timeline from the old one by the beta symbol next to the Immich logo in the app bar.

Why?

Over the past year, the major complaints we've received from users have primarily centered around the mobile app. The app simply doesn't feel premium or responsive—it's often janky and takes too long to become usable when first opened, especially when you have a large number of albums. Users can't even view their local albums unless they've selected them as backup targets. Our technical debt in the data structure has created some truly frustrating behaviors, like forcing users to re-upload everything (only to have it rejected by the server) when they switch phones and end up with a different device ID. Or local photos and videos don’t show up until they are all hashed, which could take a while.

We've realized we can't honestly call the application stable or confidently recommend it to everyone until we resolve these fundamental problems. We genuinely want this app to be excellent. We want the user experience to be seamless and delightful—we want you to feel genuinely happy when you open Immich to browse through your precious memories.

What’s new?

Data sync

• The data sync is now running in a background thread, separate from the UI thread. This means that during data synchronization, the app will remain smooth to browse.
• The data sync speed should be improved drastically. The data is being streamed to the mobile app instead of being sent there in a single large chunk. This will help users with a massive library.
• The calculation of which data needs to be retrieved from the server is now performed on the server, rather than being calculated by the mobile app previously. This means lower CPU usage on the mobile app and quicker incremental sync.
• The mobile app will now retrieve data from the server and maintain similar database tables within the app. This restructuring enables better offline operation and supports more complex usage behaviors.

Timeline/Display experience

• The new timeline has been rewritten from the ground up to enhance scrolling and dragging behavior, making it easier for you to navigate the timeline.
• The detail viewer is now more interactive, allowing you to scroll between photos or videos when the bottom detail sheet is opened.
• The album views and other collection views are more lively, featuring a parallax effect to make your album/collection feel alive with mesmerizing animation.
• You can now view all albums on the device, regardless of which album you have selected as the target for backing up. You can view them in the `Library > On this device` section. For users who want to select individual assets to back up to the server, they can perform that operation from here.

Upload

• The upload mechanism has been rewritten from the ground up.
• Upload is now handled by the OS, allowing for a better background upload operation. Instead of handling the uploading ourselves, we are now placing the photos and videos in a queue, which will run continuously when the Immich app is opened in the foreground and for a few minutes after it is put into the background. Then the OS will take over and start pulling tasks from the queue, handling the upload process by itself.
• Starting the upload progress is now invoked from a toggle button

• Uploads are now running in parallel . The new upload detail page displays which assets are being uploaded and whether they are experiencing issues or stuck. You can tap on each item to see exactly which asset is causing the problem.

• On Android, there is no longer a virtual Recents album that includes all assets. Instead, there is a button to select all albums for backup.
• In the backup album selection screen, you can now search for the album you want to back up.

Expectations of the beta version of the mentioned mechanisms

• The app should be very smooth to browse around during the initial login and subsequent app openings.
• Collections (favorite, archived, locked folder, etc.) and album views should make you feel nice, cozy, and delighted.
• Background queuing of newly taken photos is not yet implemented. We will start working on this next.
• Some views are not yet ported over to the new implementation, such as, but not limited to
  • People view
  • Map view
• Some mechanisms are still missing from the previous implementation, such as, but not limited to
  • Add to album from multi-selection
  • Album sync when uploading
• There are still some buggy behaviors/animations we will be ironing out in the coming days.

How can you help us?

• Use the beta timeline and the new upload rework.
• Report any bugs and weirdness you experience on GitHub’s issue tracker [beta] <your-title-here> as the title
• Reach out and provide direct feedback on Discord
• Feedback from iCloud users is greatly appreciated

Android Widgets

This is a follow-up to one of our most requested features: Home screen widgets! In v1.135.0 We introduced Immich widgets on iOS, which included a memory widget and a random widget. With v1.136.0, we bring these widgets to Android! Many of the improvements to iOS widgets listed below have also been incorporated into the Android version.

iOS Widget Improvements

iOS widgets have been improved with feedback from the community:

• iOS widgets now support servers that use insecure HTTP connections
• iOS widgets now support servers that use WebP as their preview thumbnail format
• Tapping on the widget now takes you directly to the image in the app
• Widgets now render properly when used on a tinted home screen
• iOS widgets now cache the latest image for use if network access is unavailable during update. You should see fewer “Unable to connect to your Immich instance” errors on your home screen!
• You can now choose to show images from your Favorites in the Random Widget
• Improved error descriptions

Deep Links

You can now deep link into the Immich app. Supported URLs include:

• immich://asset?id=<asset id>
• immich://album?id=<album id>
• immich://memory?id=<memory id>

Some my.immich.app URLs will also now open inside the mobile app:

• https://my.immich.app/photos/<asset id>
• https://my.immich.app/albums/<album id>

Navigating to any of these URLs (via the browser, Apple Shortcuts, NFC, or other automation frameworks) will open the corresponding resource inside the mobile app.

We missed capturing the moment when the project reached 69_420 stars, 😔

Full Changelog: v1.135.3...v1.136.0

---

This discussion was created from the release v1.136.0 - 69420 stars release.

[stephen304]

So I'm assuming people who more or less use the default docker-compose and .env who use relative paths for UPLOAD_LOCATION with a volume mount are fine?

UPLOAD_LOCATION=./volumes/library

    volumes:
      - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload

[cthog]

I use the default docker compose and .env, but running this image I get immich docker /bin/bash no such file or directory.

[schuhbacca]

You'd have to open up a help ticket in the discord or a discussion here and post the required info. I just updated with no issues.

You can also try docker compose stop, docker compose pull, and docker compose up -d to just verify.

[cthog]

Thanks, will do.

[stephen304]

Thankfully no issues with mine - not sure if it's placebo but the beta timeline feels more responsive / like native when scrolling :) Quickly scrolling and stopping repeatedly to find a specific older photo feels a lot better

[shenlong-tanwen]

not sure if it's placebo but the beta timeline feels more responsive / like native when scrolling :)

Definitely not placebo 😄 The timeline was rewritten to be more responsive. Part of the reason why it does not have feature parity with the current timeline yet

[Cedric-Boucher]

funny enough, I just updated my app on android, and in the app it says my version is 1.136.0, but that the latest app version available is 1.135.3 😆. Still waiting for the server update to be available on TrueNAS Scale

[maltokyo]

Indeed, I wonder who maintains it - hope they see this release! I am thinking to make immich a "custom app" and get the upgrade myself.

[JustOptimize]

Hey, the latest (1.136.0) mobile app versionCode is set to 205 even though past version codes were 1203 (for 1.135.2) and 1204 (for 1.135.3).
This prevents the user from updating the already installed mobile app since it counts as downgrading

[alextran1502]

There seems to be an error in the CI/CD pipeline. I updated the release note with the new binary with the expected version code. Can you try grabbing them again?

[a-jackson]

Came to say this and you've already fixed it 🚀
Working for me now.

[ChrisiHill]

I have been using Immich for ages with no issues but the one thing that stopped me from uninstalling Google Photos was viewing local albums! Goodbye Google 😁

[Solarunit]

Manual upload is still there?

[alextran1502]

Yup

[Solarunit]

good, I prefer manual uploads

[FreeWind6]

How to https://my.immich.app/albums/d712c896-9c1e-4749-97e6-4e63371288e7 add my uri?
Example: https://my.immich.app/albums/d712c896-9c1e-4749-97e6-4e63371288e7?uri=https://myimmich.com

[FreeWind6]

What are you trying to do?

I want to create a link so that if the user has an app, the photo opens in the app, and if the user doesn't have an app, the photo opens in the browser. I also want to ensure that if the photo opens in the browser, the user doesn't have to enter the server name, as they may not be interested in doing so.

[jrasm91]

That's not available yet, it's being added in immich-app/static-pages#161 though.

[FreeWind6]

That's not available yet, it's being added in immich-app/static-pages#161 though.

Thanks, I think I'll subscribe =)

[jrasm91]

https://my.immich.app/albums/d712c896-9c1e-4749-97e6-4e63371288e7?instanceUrl=https://myimmich.com

Thank you very much! That's cool!!!

[Solarunit]

I was confused about Beta timeline, it's only for mobile version..

[crashmit]

One thing I noticed on the beta timeline on iOS: I can't long-press and move while holding to select a large number of photos anymore.

Otherwise, WOW it's really snappy. Not sure if placebo or not, but it feels great.

[stephen304]

They say it's definitely not placebo 😄 But yeah agreed, I usually default to Gphotos to find old photos because scrolling fast and then suddenly stopping over and over to find something specific was just a little too laggy because stopping and starting the scroll immediately was just a little bit delayed making it super annoying. Another nail in the gphotos coffin!

[alextran1502]

hold-down to select has not made to the new timeline yet

[thedanbob]

Amazing update! I almost posted a disappointed comment about how the app seemed to be just as janky as before, but then realized I had updated everything but forgot to switch on the beta timeline 🤦‍♂️ Once I did that, all the performance problems disappeared!

[nckrwlmn]

A childish milestone, but a milestone nonetheless. I'm going to continue assuming that there are competent grown-ups working on this project. Thank you for your work.

[alextran1502]

😄

[dc911x]

I can find myself in the 69 part but not the 420. Right @nckrwlmn 😏

[nckrwlmn]

Neither. I think it's time to get over it as a society. It contributes to our decay I think.

[NickM-27]

Love the timing of this update, one day after I get a new phone 😆

glad to see improvements here

[grid8]

Appreciate the efforts, some solid improvements. Biggest thing still missing for me is the ability web interface deletes to sync to iOS, was hoping it would make this release.

[RadioHerzblut]

Hello – I have my Immich data on my NAS.

Immich runs on Portainer for me. The path to NAS is not in the EVN tab.
In Portainer under VOLUMES, I see the path to:

container = /usr/src/app/upload
host = /mnt/immich/uplods (this is the path to NAS).

Does anyone here have experience with what needs to be changed in Portainer?

I made a backup in Proxmox before the update.
After the UPDATE in Portainer, Immich was no longer accessible.

I restored the backup. I am back to the old version.

I would be grateful for any tips.

[alextran1502]

You can open a Q&A thread and post your setup, it will be easier to troubleshooting to see the actual value

[jrasm91]

You should not need to make any changes. Just pull and update as you normally would.

[jrasm91]

If you did change something you should undo it. Also, it the spelling error on the host path intentional? /mnt/immich/uplods

[eerison]

Toggle features

the toggles are not appearing in Galaxy tag 7, is there a minimum android version? I tested on phone and it appeared.

Sync icon

after enable the new features, the cloud icon close of profile picture on top right. it is always with a 🚫 . it isn't changing to ✅

[alextran1502]

There is not, I believe we haven't added that button to the tablet view yet...

The sync icon hasn't adapted to the new upload status yet

[eerison]

Ahhh thank you to clarify 😊

[zarlock81]

There is not, I believe we haven't added that button to the tablet view yet...

I guess that means no beta timeline for the iPad as well? I‘ve been looking hard for that toggle and could not find it. 😊

[danieldietzler]

You can make it work in split view 😅. Will have it fixed in the next patch release :)

[crashmit]

Also managed to cheese it in the new iPad OS 26 Beta where you can simply resize to a phone size 😄 but aaaalriiight I guess we need to actually let you cook 😜

[ArmandBernard]

Trying out the beta, but weirdly none of my remote pictures or albums show up. Only a couple of local files if I give access to those folders.

Tried resetting the app, then switching back to beta and still nothing.

Switching beta off makes everything show up again.

[alextran1502]

You are probably using self-signed cert.

Report here #20138

Fixed here #20142

Will be avaialble in the next update

[ArmandBernard]

Nice, yeah I am using a self-signed cert. Thanks for the quick response.

[nmehlei]

I've enabled the new timeline experience in my Android app yet the screen Data migration in progress... Please wait and don't close this page is already being displayed for around an hour. Is this to be expected? How long does this usually take? My library is not small, but also not huge.

Since it advises me to not switch apps, it may have been a good idea to show a warning before starting the process that this may block the phone for a long time :)

[gablilli]

same, iOS migration has gone flawlessly, Android is still on that page..

[gablilli]

I need my pictures to be accessible and safe. Should I update the server to 1.36.0?
Thinking of sticking with 1.35.3 for now and waiting for the next release with some more fixes.

[danieldietzler]

I mean you have backups anyways, so it doesn't matter too much. The mobile beta is explicitly opt-in. 1.136 isn't less stable/usable than 1.135 per se (if you're not using beta features)

[alexgit95]

Thanks to all the contributors — the work you've done is incredible! Browsing through my library of 150,000 photos on my Android device is finally smooth.

[vfyuj]

Wow 😍
I didn't even noticed that the android app was soooo slow. Now it is lightning fast.
Thanks a lot for this update!
Sure, there are some layout bugs but I have no doubts you will fix them in the next release.
Again, thanks a lot!

[maltokyo]

Unfortunately for me, after upgrading both the server and Android app, and turning on the beta timeline, scrolling in photos and albums is still jerky/janky (I do notice some improvement, but it is still unusable).

I have 129k photos and 1.5k albums, could this be the issue? Most of those are in external libraries that are read only.

When I go into the "beta sync status" page, there is a green check next to the "Jobs" "Sync local" and "Sync remote", and when I rerun them, they turn green again. But the numbers are different on each side, and look like this (which would mean not synced?):

Assets
Local Remote
86     128475

Albums
Local Remote
6        1550

The numbers are not changing at all. Why would the syncs be "green" and finished, but the numbers differ like this?

[jrasm91]

Local means on device. You have 86 pictures on device across 6 albums (folders). Did they sound correct? The files for external libraries still obviously not be on your phone

Thank you for the amazing update. So far everything is very smooth.

However, I'm a little confused about all the backup toggles. There are now 3 toggles and in different places. "Enable foreground backup", "Enable background backup" and "Enable backup".
"Enable backup" seems to do the same as "Enable foreground backup".

I feel like there should just be one single toggle, like Google photos.

Please release the update that fixes mtls

[econometriciancheesecakes]

I downvoted myself too. I didn't say pretty please

The upload mechanism is super fast now in the app! I used to have issues because I had so many photos, it always took a while before I could actually use the app on my phone. But now I can get started right away as soon as I open it. You’ve done a really great job with this, it is so much better now, thank you! 🎉🙏☺️

I want to report that there's an "issue" that I noticed with new timeline in files upload: if the file have EXIF data (for example a photo I took, that have "DateTaken"), there's no problem.
But if the file have no metadata (for example WhatsApp images), it uses the DateModified, BUT NOT localized. It transpose de time to the UTC and save it with no TZ. It have almost no sense, for me, this behavior: can't simply use the local device TZ, or the default server TZ?

Thank you for your great work, the Android app is now so smooth and I can't wait for the next releases when the sync and background upload will be implemented! ^^

Is there a way to use not my.immich.app but use myhost.com in deep links?

[FreeWind6]

To avoid using a redirect

[danieldietzler]

@FreeWind6 Only if you compile the app yourself. That's like the primary reason why we have my.immich.app, deep link URLs must be specified in the app's metadata at build time. (Home assistant does the same)

[jrasm91]

you can use app.immich:/// links directly, but if you want an https link the app is only going to work with https://my.immich.app/

Does the media uploading feature use chunks after this update? I am wondering if uploading 100+ MB videos via cloudflare would work now.

[stephen304]

I'm also curious about this, I don't use cloudflare but I did have some pain a while ago getting my reverse proxy setup to handle large videos so having it just work with chunks would be great.

[schuhbacca]

It does not. There's no chunking.

[gablilli]

The data sync speed should be improved drastically. The data is being streamed to the mobile app instead of being sent there in a single large chunk. This will help users with a massive library.

so yeah, it shouldn't.

[currantdev]

Any ETA for ios app update with #20408 fix?
i can't use the app because it consume all my storage on phone

[gablilli]

fixed in this pr #20448

I noticed an issue with the new timeline on Android app.
I used the Deduplication utility to remove some duplicated images, and moved it to trash.
Then I deleted some images from trash (permanently deleted) and let the App to upload them again.
It worked, but for some strange case, 24 of them keeps being uploaded even if they're already present.

This is an example of the log on the server:

First of all, I want to acknowledge the efforts of the developers, but I found that the photos are now cropped into squares. In the past, they could be displayed in their original proportions. From the perspective of layout display, I think this is a step backward. Is there a way to display them in their original proportions while maintaining smooth performance? Thank you

[jrasm91]

The new timeline is a completely new implementation, from scratch, so there are going to be features missing. The idea is to quickly add them back in over the next few releases. The purpose of a beta release was to get feedback around the new design before pouring in tons of effort for exact feature parity.

[linguowei]

Thank you for your efforts, looking forward to

[bo0tzz]

@Happy-Pigging this doesn't seem related to the release, you should probably make a separate thread for it.
