New in version 0.7.20
* Collaborative albums ✨
You can now create albums where multiple ente users can add photos!
Albums can have both collaborators and viewers, and as many as you like. Storage is only counted once, for the person who uploaded the photo
This will enable many aspects of partner sharing
* Support for uncategorized photos - keep photos that do not belong to albums. This also allows you to delete albums whilst keeping their contents
* Redesigned album selector
Ente is a simple app to automatically backup and organize your photos and videos.
If you've been looking for a privacy-friendly alternative to preserve your memories, you've come to the right place. With Ente, they are stored end-to-end encrypted (e2ee). This means that only you can view them.
We have apps across Android, iOS, web and Desktop, and your photos will seamlessly sync between all your devices in an end-to-end encrypted (e2ee) manner.
Ente also makes it simple to share your albums with your loved ones. You can either share them directly with other Ente users, end-to-end encrypted; or with publicly viewable links.
Your encrypted data is stored across multiple locations, including a fall-out shelter in Paris. We take posterity seriously and make it easy to ensure that your memories outlive you.
We are here to make the safest photos app ever, come join our journey!
