Improvements & fixes — mid October 2026

The smaller changes from mid October, in the app on iPhone and iPad: camera drops, focus, background removal, photo times, the share screen and the gallery.

What's new

  • After a camera drops and reconnects mid-session, live view comes back instead of staying dark
  • If the camera disconnects before a photo arrives, the booth stops waiting right away instead of sitting on the capture screen
  • When a camera keeps disconnecting on a steady rhythm, a pop-up says so, with one Got it button
  • With the camera on AI Servo, a shot it cannot focus shows "We couldn't focus" and a new 3-2-1, never a surprise shot with no countdown
  • Background removal leaves less white haze on wrists, sleeves and hair, and fewer see-through patches
  • Take More Photos fits beside the photos on 11 and 13 inch iPads without scrolling
  • Instant Photo: photos already on the phone open sharp right away, with no re-download
  • Instant Photo: photos keep the time they were taken, even when the camera's time zone setting is wrong
  • On iPad, the Photo Booth, Instant Photo, Instant Video and Time Machine galleries hide the session code by default. "Show session codes" in the View menu turns it back on
