Foto 0.10.43 Update! • New ability to add Posts to existing Portfolios • Separated Posts & Portfolios in the Discovery Feed • New Portfolio UX • You can copy text on Foto • Mutuals Page only shows accounts that have posted in the last 60 days • Faster loading times for Mutuals & Liked By Pages

Hey Apple Foto Beta Users! Foto 0.10.43 is available for beta testing. We are waiting on Apple to review it for public release.

Above is a list of what we are working on next. We are trying to get to the Browser version as fast as we can, but we need to take care of these spammers and other items first. We will 100% start development on the browser version in January.

We have a new Android Update available! Foto 0.10.43 is now ready to install for all Android Users. This update includes the following: 1️⃣Added the ability to add posts to existing portfolios 2️⃣Separated posts and portfolios in the discovery feed

We started development on the Read Only User Profile Sharing Links this week. This will allow you to share your Foto Profile with everyone. You’ll be able to put your Foto Profile in your IG Bio, share it on Threads, send it in an email, text it to a friend, etc.

So, are any photogs on @fotoapp.co? I’m starting to slowly migrate away from instagram and it’s infested ads and sponsors. Most of the time I don’t even see my friends posts until a week or even a month later! 👀

What we are building at Foto is something new. There are aspects of the OG Instagram that were awesome, but our goal isn't to build a nostalgic social media app. Our goal is to build a holistic photography platform for everyone to share, search, and store their photos.

Here is what we are working on next. • New Portfolio UX Flow • Ability to add an existing post to a Portfolio • Split Discovery Feed into Posts & Portfolios • Bug fixes for Mobile and iPad • Updating content moderation system • Starting development on the Browser version of Foto

Foto 0.10.39 is now available! • Huge upgrade to the Notification Page • New Spam safeguards • Added refresh button under Settings for Android Users to help with app performance • Bug Fixes Enjoy Notifications 2.0!

Foto 0.10.38 is now available for all Apple users. This update features Notifications 2.0, a significant update to the Notifications page. Coming soon for Android once Google approves it.

Back to selecting work for my page at @fotoapp.co (‘MildlyMinimal’) after a long hiatus. Architectural, urban, minimalist, street, and conceptual photography are the main themes under exploration. Let’s hook up there and share~ 📸 #photography #fotografía #minimalist #architecture #urban #photo

Foto 0.10.37 is now available for all Foto Beta Testers! We want all beta testers to update to 0.10.37 so we can test how Notifications 2.0 effects our cloud computing bill. We will monitor Notifications 2.0 for a week to make sure it doesn’t skyrocket our cloud computing bill.

We just released Foto 0.10.37 to our Android Beta Testers. This update features a big upgrade to the entire Notification Page! We will be releasing this same update to Apple once they approve it for our Apple Beta Testers.

I made a list of places where street photographers could (or should) post their work. It features some platforms like @fotoapp.co and @bsky.app . Find the full list here: www.fredericpaulussen.be/best-platfor... #streetphotography #photography

Sharing another browser design mockup! This one shows the notification 2.0 update and a slide out tray on the right for when you are replying to a comment/reply notification. We think this will make conversations easier.

We are continuing to work on designing the browser version of Foto. These two screens show where we are headed with the Discovery Page. We will be separating Posts and Portfolios on the Discovery Page for mobile this year. That will carry over into the browser experience shown here.

This is what a photo walk in #helsinki looks like. Go give it a like ❤️ youtu.be/o2lkCv0R8wo #streetphotography #reflections #fotowalk @fotoapp.co

Foto 0.10.30 is now available! ⬇️ • Added error message for partial failure during portfolio upload/edit • FIXED: Newly added images to an existing portfolio do not appear in the portfolio-carousel screen • FIXED: Portfolio carousel getting stuck Next: A major update to the Notifications Page! 🙌🏻

We are getting closer to launching Notifications 2.0!! More info soon!

At Foto, we are a team of three people and have not taken any investments from VCs or Angel investors. We are not owned by big tech. We are 100% financially supported by our community. This is allowing us to build something unique, free from investor pressures.

Here is a design preview of where we are headed for the browser version of the Single Portfolio Page. When you click a Portfolio or a Portfolio Link, you'll be taken to this page layout when on a desktop/laptop. We are working on re-designing every page of Foto for the full browser experience.

Another shot from the #photowalk with @fotoapp.co last weekend. This guy was definitely rethinking his choice of footware. Buy one pair get two pair free? Maybe he's a cowboy after all? #photography #streetphotography

Foto Podcast 030 featuring @billshapiro.bsky.social is now available! Bill is a former Editor-In-Chief of LIFE Magazine, Co-Founder of BluePhoto Collective, writes about photography, and helps photographers make photo books. Listen on our Substack, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify!

Foto 0.10.29 is now available for everyone! This update adds the ability to scroll through your photos & post to Foto from the share sheet. This is the little square with the up arrow. Previously, you could only upload by going to Foto & creating a new post & then scrolling through all your photos.

Attended a photo walk organised by @fotoapp.co #SteeetPhotography #London #Candid #Soho #LeicaM11

Yesterday I took part in the Global @fotoapp.co Walk through downtown Toronto chasing light. #foto #globalfotowalk #chasinglight

Went with @oakcitycameraclub.bsky.social on the @fotoapp.co World foto walk yesterday. Had a great time hanging out with the folks in the club and got a few nice shots. All with my Sony a7iii and 35/1.8. #fotoapp #fotowalk #alphauniverse #street #streetphotography #sonyalpha #ncphotographer

Today was our first photo tour or "fotowalk" in Mexico City's Historic Center. Around 16 people attended.

Really enjoying this portfolio feature @fotoapp.co — it makes projects feel whole, not just individual shots. Such a great way to explore photography. #portfolios #photographycommunity #visualstorytelling

Geesh, our @fotoapp.co @doorsopenmilwaukee.bsky.social #Fotowalk on #HistoricMitchellStreet went GREAT this morning - we shared a lot of Mitchell Street history, made some new friends, snapped a buncha pics and had a SWELL #MILWAUKEE TIME! :) @visitmilwaukee.bsky.social @govevers.wisconsin.gov

I went on a #photowalk with @fotoapp.co in #nashville and the theme was #reflections. I thought this eye/tower combo gave some Lord of the Rings vibes #photography #streetphotography

This Saturday, we're hosting a #photowalk on #HistoricMitchellStreet, as part of #DoorsOpenMKE and @fotoapp.co #FotoWalkDay! ;) Come out and explore the near south-side with us! www.facebook.com/events/10800...

We are working on an update to 0.10.24, which was affected by an internal miscommunication. We will be adding a pop-up to a specific button that you will need to press once to experience the Android performance improvements. We are currently building this & will launch soon.

Foto 0.10.24 is now available for Android and Apple. Specifically, for Android users, can you download it and report back on two things. 1) Is the initial load time faster? 2) When scrolling the home feed, does it hang up or does it scroll smoothly? Thanks!

Foto 0.10.24 has been submitted to Google and Apple for review. This update will help improve app performance speed, especially on Android. We'll let everyone know when it's officially available. Next, we will be addressing more bugs, particularly those related to Portfolios.

We are going to be doing internal testing for the Android Performance Fixes later today. Hopefully, we'll be able to get this update to everyone in a few days.

We’ve built Foto differently . Many tech startups seek traditional investors as early as possible, but entering that structure inevitably leads down a path of serving shareholders instead of the community. This incentive structure is something we want to avoid. Our goal is to build Foto with you.

We are pretty confident we found the root cause of the Android performance issues. We are running tests to triple confirm and going through QA checks to make sure this fix does the job before we push an update.
