View and search for photos

Photos are displayed as thumbnails. You can group them by day or month to change their size. To do this, tap  → Change layout in the upper-right corner and select the layout:

  • By month — All photos will be the same size, sorted by month.
  • By day — All photos will be the same size, sorted by date.
  • Smart tiles — Photos will be arranged in a beautiful gallery.

If you want to quickly find photos taken within a certain period of time, switch to the view by month and scroll through the list of photos.

Loading thumbnails

The app can download thumbnails over just Wi-Fi or any network (Wi-Fi, mobile internet). Select the appropriate option in the settings.

Attention. Mobile data charges may apply.

Actions with photos

You can share photos, change them in the editor, download them, or delete them. To do this, open a photo and choose the required action at the top of the screen.

How can I tell which photos are stored on Yandex.Disk and which are on my device?

You can distinguish photos by the icons in their lower-right corner:

  • [no icon] — The photo was uploaded to Yandex.Disk manually or automatically.
  • — The photo was automatically uploaded to Yandex.Disk from your device.
  • — The photo was not uploaded to Yandex.Disk and is stored only on your device because auto-upload is disabled or suspended. This icon marks photos that were once automatically uploaded to Yandex.Disk but then removed from Photos.
