The feature

iOS widgets of different types of memories for the Home Screen or slide over area like Apple Photos or Google Photos does. Then if you click opens the Immich app and shows that memory.

Platform

This could be possible using home_widget and workmanager packages.

This would be a much wanted feature! Looking forward to it. Thanks.

I'm so looking forward to this feature! Even better if it has some kind of 'smart stories' Ai feature like iPhone, for example recognizing your partner or a new trip!

I also need it, and I hope the author will consider it a priority.

I also hope to see this feature soon!

Just a request on top of this, it would be cool if there was some sort of random seed determining the order of photos, so for shared albums, multiple people can use the same seed to sync their widgets together.

I have a lot of random photos. I would way rather have some sort of mix of faces, or people doing cool things, other than one of the lame pics I have!

Folks, as is hopefully pretty clear from all the minimized comments, if you don't have anything to add to the request please just upvote the original post.

So I had an idea that you could accomplish this on iOS with a Scriptable widget that uses the Immich API, as a temporary workaround until it's implemented natively. I gave it a shot to see if it was feasible.

It's rather janky but works. Image quality is hit or miss. I have put up a gist for this in case anyone wants to try it out.

I didn't realise people used this for memories!

I personally like to select a photo album and then have it pick out random photos from there. Nice after just having been on a holiday, or picking out landscape albums with a certain vibe to them.

First time in this space - is this likely to be prioritised and done soon or would you be open to contributions on this?

@helblinglilly we don't have this in our lists at the moment, so contribution is welcomed
