Immich v2.6.2 released on 24-03-2026


Immich v2.6.2 is out now. It fixes shared-link workflows so public users can upload without errors, corrects album selection and editor permissions, and delivers a range of web, mobile and server-side bug fixes that tidy up navigation, search and caching.

See the project’s GitHub releases page for the full changelog and installation instructions.

What’s in this release

  • Shared-link and album fixes: public uploads to shared links no longer error; adding items from a shared link to albums works correctly; the album picker now shows albums shared with the user; album editor permissions and album cover button/scroll behaviour have been corrected.
  • Web UI and navigation improvements: support for switching to external URLs restored; combobox items can render outside modals; duplicate viewer arrow-key navigation restored; upload summary updates when items are removed; several Svelte reactivity issues fixed.
  • Mobile, server and documentation fixes: mobile search and filter bugs resolved (including view-similar from search, dropdown padding and star-rating defaults); Cronet image cache clearing on Android and auxiliary URL cookie handling added; server-side fixes include queuing the version-check job when config changes and avoiding stale cached originals; ML CPU architecture docs clarified.
