Coming soon for iPad

You’ll rememberwhen you see it.

An iPad on a sunlit cabinet, showing a slideshow of weddings, graduation, family moments, and landscapes.
A little glimpse of the frame at home.

Turn your iPad into a photo frame. Rediscover the people, places, and little moments waiting in your Apple Photos library.

For iPad with iPadOS 26 or later.

Your photos, at home.

Your favourite photo might be one you’ve forgotten.

That trip. That grin. That ordinary afternoon. Choose an album or let shuffle bring something back into view. Give your photographs a place in your home, and a chance to make you smile again.

Made for your photographs

The whole picture. A little more of the story.

Whole-photo display

Keep the whole photo.

The person at the edge. The landscape around you. Every photo fits inside the display. Consecutive portraits appear side by side; landscapes and square photos get the screen to themselves.

Apple Photos

Start with the moments you already have.

Choose an album, your Favourites, or your photo library. Your photographs are already there, ready to become part of the room.

Saved Photos

Rediscover it. Keep it close.

See a photo you’d forgotten about? Tap its bookmark to add it to your Saved Photos album in Apple Photos, ready to enjoy again.

Date & place

Remember when. And where.

Optional captions show the capture date and location when they’re available. A little more of the story, whenever you want it.

Your pace

Let the memories linger.

Choose how often the photographs change. Follow them through time or let shuffle bring back something unexpected.

A simple everyday ritual

Set it once.Enjoy it every day.

Your source, order, and interval stay saved for next time. A few small choices, then space for your photographs.

  1. Choose your moments.

    Pick an album, Favourites, your library, or the photos you’ve bookmarked.

  2. Find your pace.

    Set the interval and order. Add date and place captions if you’d like them.

  3. Give them a place.

    Plug in your iPad, put it somewhere you’ll enjoy it, and start the frame.

A few things to know

Before you find it a spot.

Which iPads can I use?

You’ll need an iPad running iPadOS 26 or later. Check your iPad’s software version in Settings before getting started.

Does it work with Apple Photos?

Yes. Choose your photo library, Favourites, or an album. Browsing albums and using Saved Photos require full Photos access. With limited access, the frame can only show the photos you’ve allowed.

What happens when I bookmark a photo?

It’s added to a Saved Photos album in Apple Photos. Choose Saved Photos as your frame’s source to return to the pictures you’ve rediscovered.

Can I use the frame offline?

Photos already cached on your iPad can display offline. Photos stored only in iCloud need a connection to download, so a whole album may not be available without internet access.

Should I leave the iPad plugged in?

Yes. The frame is designed for use while plugged in. Keeping the display on uses battery power, and brightness and downloads also affect consumption.

Will every photo show a date and location?

Only when that information is available in the photo. Captions are off by default. Apple Maps location names require a separate opt-in that sends the photo’s coordinates to Apple; the photograph itself is not sent.

Do I need to create an account?

There’s no separate app account to create. Your photographs come from Apple Photos, using the normal iPad permission settings.

When can I download it?

The app is being prepared for the App Store. The download link and release details will appear here when it’s ready.
