We've been steadily working on making Ente Photos a great gallery app on Android, one that fits naturally into the everyday moments where you reach for your photos: tapping a camera thumbnail to review a shot, attaching a photo in a messenger, browsing your library without thinking about which app you're in. The latest release is another solid step in that direction.
Pick photos from Ente in other apps
When another app asks you to attach a photo or video, Ente Photos now shows up as one of the apps you can pick from. Open it, browse your library, select what you need, and the original app gets the files back. It works with the system photo picker and with any app that uses the standard Android intents for media.
Open camera shots directly in Ente
After taking a photo, many camera apps show a small thumbnail you can tap to review the shot. On supported camera apps, that thumbnail now opens the photo directly in Ente's viewer — zoom, share, or delete it without leaving Ente.
For details and known limitations (looking at you, Pixel Camera), see the docs.
After Gallery mode let you use Ente Photos without an account, these integrations are the next step in a longer effort toward Ente Photos working as a true Android default gallery — something we're tracking in this discussion. More pieces are already on the way. If there's a gallery flow you rely on that still feels rough on Android, come tell us in Discord.
