New

  • Runs on iOS 15. The minimum is now iOS 15.0 (was 16.0) — the iOS 16-only SwiftUI pieces were replaced with iOS 15-compatible equivalents (a UIKit PHPickerViewController for photo selection, NavigationView, and small shims). Confirmed working on real iOS 15 hardware.
  • "All Photos" album. A new album pinned to the top of the Albums list backs up your entire photo library (images + videos). Selecting it alongside other albums is safe — nothing uploads twice.
  • "Folders" is now "Albums" throughout the app (tab, titles, and copy), matching what the app actually works with.

Unchanged from 0.1.0

  • In-app WKWebView account connection (no Safari extension). The EmbeddedSetup page may spin after I agree — expected; the app captures the token and closes the window itself.

Install

PhotosBackup.ipa is unsigned. Sideload with SideStore/AltStore (re-signs on device with your Apple ID) or install with TrollStore. iOS 15.0 or newer.
