Lately Get it for Android

Lately · Birthdays

Birthday party photos, all in one place.

The cake, the candles, the presents: everyone at the party got a different angle. Lately puts the party’s photos in one album that every parent can open with a QR code and save from.

Coming to Google Play soon; until then, download the Android app directly. Version 0.2.3 (12), updated Sep 29, 2026. iPhone is coming soon.

How it works

1

Make the album when the party ends

Tap 4 hours and the whole party is in it. Leave out any photo you don’t want to share.

2

Send the link

Text it to the other parents or print the code on the thank-you cards.

3

Everyone saves their favorites

Parents save photos of their own kids straight to their camera roll and add the ones they took.

Tips

  • Add a password if the album has photos of other people’s children.
  • Set the link to expire after a week so it doesn’t stay out there.
  • Guests can add their photos, so you get the ones you weren’t in the room for.

Questions

How do I get photos from the other parents after a party?

Share a Lately album and turn on guest photos. Parents tap Add your photos on the album page and pick photos from their phone, no app needed.

Is a birthday album private?

Only people with the code or link can open it, and you can add a password, remove photos or close the album at any time.

Does it cost anything?

No, Lately is free during the beta.
