What’s new in Photos Copy
Photos Copy is in testing ahead of its Google Play launch. Development builds are numbered 0.15.x — the public release will be version 1.x. Newest first.
Version 0.15.141
November 8, 2026
Drive folders now show the folder’s own name, with the full path in the smaller line underneath — the same way the phone’s own list reads. Gallery day sections are now the default.
Version 0.15.140
November 8, 2026
A fresh open of the app now lands on the Local gallery. An app that’s still open keeps your exact place — tab, drive, and folder.
Version 0.15.139
November 8, 2026
Queue controls sharpened: Cancel appears only on the file actually copying, and failed files wait at the very top of the queue with a Retry button.
Version 0.15.138
November 8, 2026
The backup queue gets per-file controls — cancel the file that’s copying, retry failed copies — and turning a folder off mid-backup now reaches the backup that’s already running.
Version 0.15.137
November 7, 2026
Backups now prepare gallery previews as they copy, so the drive gallery scrolls smoothly from the first open. Added a one-time Prepare previews pass in Settings → Cache for libraries backed up earlier.
Version 0.15.136
November 7, 2026
Fixed backed-up photos that were deleted in the Gallery coming back on the next backup when their folder’s name contained spaces.
Version 0.15.135
November 7, 2026
Deleted copies now stay deleted: removing a backed-up photo in the Gallery is remembered, so later backups leave it gone. Also gave two stuck video posters a fair retry.
Version 0.15.134
November 6, 2026
The copy-only promise, in plain words, in the first-run tutorial and on the Backup tab: “All Photos Copy does is copy. Nothing moves, nothing vanishes.”
Version 0.15.133
November 2026
A clear, standard notice when Android restricts the app’s background use — with the fix one tap away, and the notice clears itself once things are right.
Version 0.15.132
November 2026
Backup health notices learned manners: a slow backup is no longer reported as a stalled one, and short failures that heal on their own stay quiet.
Version 0.15.131
November 2026
Reliability rebuild under the hood: sturdier backup scheduling, per-drive stall handling, and a deeper walk of large drive libraries.
Version 0.15.130
November 2026
Gallery tiles sharpen as you scroll: the real photo fades in over its thumbnail instead of popping in.
Version 0.15.129
November 2026
The backup queue rebuilt around one ordered list: press Back up now and every drive takes its place in line — and the line survives tab switches, closing the app, and restarts.
Earlier development builds go back to the first working version in the fall of 2026; their full notes travel with each build’s archived source.
