2025 Foto Roadmap

Portfolios
This will be our first paid Pro Feature. We plan to launch Portfolios before Foto becomes available in Apple and Android App Stores.

Mute and Favorite Tags
Tags have been great on Foto, and we will add the ability to Mute Tags for those topics you don’t want to see in your Discovery Feed. We will also allow users to set which tags are their Favorites. Favorite Tags will be used in two ways. The first way is by setting your Discovery Feed to show you only the tags you want to see by default. The second way is by helping you tag your photos much faster when creating a post.

Search by First and Last Name
Currently, you can only search by username on Foto. We will expand that to First and Last names so you can find people faster and more naturally.

Multiple Column Options on the Discovery Page
We will allow users to set their Discovery Page to 1, 2, or 3 columns.


Sharing outside of Foto
We will add the ability to share a link to your profile and posts to help Foto users share their posts and accounts outside of Foto.

More Upload Options
We’ll add more ways to upload to Foto, including various mobile and desktop options.

Desktop
We will start designing and developing the Desktop Version of Foto in 2025.

Multi-Image Posts
Right now, you can only post a single image on Foto. We will be adding the ability to post up to 5 photos, and portfolios will be able to include 40 photos.

Content Moderation
We will make minor adjustments to our Content Moderation System to prepare for the Apple and Google App Review required before Foto becomes publicly available. Apple specifically has requirements for apps that are centered around user-generated content, and we have to meet those requirements or risk being rejected by Apple.

Editing Comments
We will allow users to edit comments/replies made on Foto.

Metadata
Image metadata allows us to do many exciting things, and we will launch features leveraging metadata in 2025. Most of these features will center around expanding search functionality, but some other metadata features will help label/tag photos correctly and protect copyright holders.

More Discovery Features
In 2025, we will add many ways to discover new accounts on Foto. I won’t go into detail about each discovery feature, but we know we need to improve this area of Foto, and we’ll be constantly improving it moving forward.

Notifications Page Redesign
We will launch a redesigned Notifications Page for more efficient communication and management of social interactions.

Adding DMs
Some people love direct messaging, and others hate it. We will add DMs, but we will also allow users to turn them off completely.

Another Pro Feature
We will start on our second Pro Feature in 2025. This will likely be either the Shop Feature or Post Scheduler—maybe both!

We may build many other items in 2025, but this is a solid list. Making exact plans is always tricky because life has a way of taking you down a path you don’t foresee. None of these features are written in stone, but these are things we are planning for right now.

Sprinkled throughout all of these features will be minor and bug fixes.

Thank you for being so supportive of Foto!
