Lately Get it for Android

Lately · Trips

Trip photos from everyone’s phone.

On a trip everyone’s taking pictures, and afterwards it takes weeks to swap them. Start a Lately album when you arrive and it collects the trip as you go; everyone else sees it and adds theirs.

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

Start the album when you arrive

Pick Now and set it to stop at the end of the trip. On Android, Auto-share adds each photo as you take it.

2

Share the code on day one

Everyone on the trip scans it once and can come back to it all weekend.

3

Swap photos as you go

Friends add their shots from their browser, and everyone saves the ones they want.

Tips

  • Use 24 hours afterwards if you forgot to start it at the beginning.
  • Videos work too, up to 95 MB each.
  • Close the album when you’re done and the shared copies are deleted.

Questions

How do we share vacation photos between iPhone and Android?

Put them in a Lately album. It opens in any browser, and Save to Photos puts pictures in the camera roll or gallery on either kind of phone.

Can the album fill up during the trip?

Yes. Start it with Now; on Android, Auto-share adds new photos in the background, and friends can add theirs any time.

How long does the album stay up?

As long as you choose: a day, a week, a month or until you close it.
