What does it do?
The FamilyAlbum widget is a rotating slideshow of memories from your album on your Home Screen. You can even choose between a calendar version and photo-only version!
How does it choose what photos to display?
The widget prioritizes photos taken on the same date from past years. Unlike other widgets, only memories shared with the whole family will be displayed. If you’ve joined multiple albums, the widget will default to the last album viewed.
How do I get it?
First, update your FamilyAlbum app to the latest version by tapping the button below or by searching for FamilyAlbum in the Google Play Store.
