We’ve found a way to speed up app loading times for everyone. We are working on that now and hope to be able to have an update in 2 weeks that will reduce the app loading time down to 2-3 seconds. We also are continuing to work on fixing bugs with the browser version of Foto.

In case you wonder (I know you don’t 😉), I’m also on @fotoapp.co #photography #photographer #portrait #portraitphotography the.fotoapp.co/teofranchifoto

Foto Browser Update - March 31st, 2026 - This video shows our latest progress on the Browser version of Foto. We have made good progress on the Home Feed, Discovery Page, Notification Page, and Profile Page! We’ll be sharing more as we drill down into the details a bit more.

Foto 0.10.55 is here! This improves the Android experience, scrolling, & fixes some bugs. fixed: Android infinite scroll gets stuck Fresh install sign-in says No-posts in my-profile Fresh install sign-in results in empty home-feed Users get randomly signed-out Added password visibility toggle

Photography fans can now include social links to their @fotoapp.co or @glass.photo accounts in Pagecord and get the logo in their navigation! Pagecord now supports image galleries as well, so it's a great place to create a personal website or photo blog :) #photography #blogging

I recommended the @fotoapp.co to Jason Lee and now he’s hanging out on there! 😃 the.fotoapp.co/jason_lee

Here's a peek at our progress on the upcoming Home Feed for the Browser version of Foto! More to come!

No longer on Twitter or Meta platforms. Just here and on @fotoapp.co . Can't use film anymore because of an allergy, but love seeing what you all do! If the world were right, I'd be strictly working with HP5, FP4, Delta3200 and a Rolleiflex. Alas... #believeinfilm #filmphotography #film

We are working extremely hard on the full browser version of Foto and fixing the Android performance issues. The browser version is a big undertaking, which is why we haven't posted a lot recently. We are beyond excited to get this into your hands!

Foto 0.10.53 is now available for all Android and Apple users. We smoothed out the scrolling for the Home and Discovery Feed and squashed some bugs. We are now working on Android Performance Improvements & Browser development continues!

I wish everyone photographer here was on @fotoapp.co. It's my favorite app to share photos and there's no political hot takes to sift through on my feed. It's just photographers posting photos. If you're over there, please give me a follow and I'll follow you back. the.fotoapp.co/apelfilm

Words from Lee Griffith, a Foto member on why Foto is different.

Hey hey! Michael here! I'm going to be in Detroit on March 26th and 27th. I'd love to do some sort of Foto event. It could be a Foto Walk, a Foto meetup, and/or a Foto pop-up exhibition. Are there any photographers or art galleries in Detroit that want to chat???

You can finally share your @fotoapp.co profile on other apps, so here's mine. 😊 #photography the.fotoapp.co/fujixgraphy

We've officially started development of the browser version of Foto! We will keep you updated with progress.

Foto 0.10.47 is now available for all Android and Apple users. This update fixes a bug that was preventing people from updating their profile photo and it removes the preloaded text from the share profile feature, so you can share your profile URL much easier.

@fotoapp.co is adding, piece by piece, new and useful features to the app. Now it’s possible to share a link to your profile so that people outside Foto can have a preview of your feed. Here is mine, see you there! #Photography #Photographer #Technology #App the.fotoapp.co/teofranchifoto

Looking for a non-Meta space to share and interact with other photographers? Try @fotoapp.co, which now has public profiles! the.fotoapp.co/leez

@fotoapp.co now has profile sharing. Your profile and posts can be viewed by anyone, not just other Foto users. Have a look for yourself: the.fotoapp.co/frogmouth_co... An app just for photography, no reels, no algorithms, just a great community of photographers. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

@fotoapp.co now has a public profile-sharing link. Here is mine: the.fotoapp.co/jnswndlf #photography

Here's a sneak peek at where we are at with the upcoming Profile Sharing links. This is me looking at a profile on my laptop. The profile-sharing links are previews, not the full Foto experience. Non-Foto users will need to download and create a Foto account to follow, like, and comment.

We want to take a moment and thank all of you for a wonderful 2025. We launched publicly this year, grew the Foto community, added a lot of features, and learned a lot from your feedback. We can’t wait for 2026 and all the new features we have planned. Thanks for all your support! ❤️

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

Trying to make the switch from Instagram to @fotoapp.co If you love photography please consider following me here. Thanks! Check out Jose's profile on Foto: the.fotoapp.co/jcfphoto

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! 🙌🏻
