It’s time for immich. I already want to migrate. Just give me an excuse to self-host!

In general I would *love* it for companies to stop automatically adding shit like Google Lens or AI to my phone by completely unprompted updating my *very* fundamental phone functionality even when I'm outside of the LTS

raimichelle.bsky.social•90 days ago

Next update is full of AI

soimlikeword.bsky.social•90 days ago

And I won’t be doing it or using it.

chrisjackis.bsky.social•90 days ago

If you go to customise and reorder settings in your photos and then untick all of the options here you get back to almost what your photos used to look like. Suggest you try unticking some or all to have a look what’s best for you.

Excellent, thanks for this. So much better. 👍🏽

zeegirl.bsky.social•90 days ago

Thank you!

alastairjnz.bsky.social•90 days ago

Thanks for that! Would you happen to know how to get the locations/ map album back again? It was the main way I’d search for photos.

chrisjackis.bsky.social•90 days ago

Go back to those settings and select pinned collections. That should do it

alastairjnz.bsky.social•90 days ago

That did it! Thank you!!

chrisjackis.bsky.social•90 days ago

Let me have a look!

cptsdduck.bsky.social•90 days ago

I think I found what you are looking for under the utilities option. There’s a ‘map’ option there.

alastairjnz.bsky.social•90 days ago

Great, thanks - I hadn’t realised there were more utilities that could be added to the list.

lfsmx.bsky.social•90 days ago

Exactly!

betharooo.bsky.social•90 days ago

Been holding off on the iOS 18 update for days now. Absolutely not doing it. It’s really that bad huh?

susanmccrea.bsky.social•90 days ago

Yeah me neither.

soimlikeword.bsky.social•90 days ago

It’s worse. Don’t do it

betharooo.bsky.social•89 days ago

Done, thanks for the advice. Now if only my stupid phone would leave me alone about it.

bellaniaxo.bsky.social•90 days ago

It’s just annoying if anything.

xanthinus.bsky.social•90 days ago

Oh shit. I ran the update me but haven’t opened Photos yet

millymill102.bsky.social•90 days ago

Ew yes, they upgraded my phone overnight and now I don’t even know how to navigate it…

sanquenton.bsky.social•89 days ago

Maaaan I hate it so much. It really stinks.

lovelexi.bsky.social•90 days ago

It is horrific!!

dgmonkey.bsky.social•90 days ago

I can’t find anything anymore.

ronjantol2.bsky.social•90 days ago

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it

yeticreations.bsky.social•90 days ago

LITERALLY!! I hate this shit I want my android back lmao

savingdemocracy101.bsky.social•90 days ago

Right???? Horrible

ethana75.bsky.social•90 days ago

If you think it’s bad now… omg I did beta testing back in June and it’s 1000x better than it was then

pnwbaseballfan.bsky.social•90 days ago

Yeah, it’s bad. I can’t figure out what they did or why.

misskcp.bsky.social•88 days ago

📌

islandbiju.bsky.social•90 days ago

Just can’t get used to it. Why in the world would anyone make it so much less intuitive 😓

kougeru.bsky.social•90 days ago

Basically everything in the last decade lol

bdmax54.bsky.social•90 days ago

I guess it’s time to get all my images off my phone.

shannasaurusrex.bsky.social•90 days ago

Yup. Same. I stopped updating my iPhone when they started putting all the AI features in the updates. Hate it. Might just be time for a whole new phone manufacturer for me. 🙃

bdmax54.bsky.social•90 days ago

I don’t need any stinkin Ai BS. I have an imagination and I know Ai will only create more distrust for anything real.
We’re all so gullible already.
trump is proof of that.

crystaljam.bsky.social•90 days ago

It’s so awful

all-eyes-on-mia.bsky.social•90 days ago

Very confusing, isn’t it?! 😌

softsoles.bsky.social•90 days ago

Horrible update. If was fine the way it was.

cptsdduck.bsky.social•90 days ago

Does anyone know how to fix password protected notes? When I try to unlock a note with a password on it it just completely locks notes. Can’t get in. Thankfully can still access them on my phone. For now.
