Browse your cloud photo library on Android: photos, videos, albums.
Cloud Photos lets you open your iCloud Photos library on your Android phone or tablet.
Sign in with your Apple Account, verify with the usual two-factor code, and your photos, videos and albums are right there.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Open your whole library in a fast grid, newest first: everything loads when you open the app, and each picture is saved on your device, so the next time it opens at once. Pinch to change how many photos fit on a row, and watch the grid follow your fingers
• Tap Refresh to check iCloud for changes: only what is new, removed or edited changes on screen
• Hold a photo to select it, then slide your finger over more photos to select them too, or tap Select all; download your selection to your gallery, share it with any app or delete it
• Delete photos and videos after a question: they move to Recently Deleted, where you can restore them or delete them permanently. Recently Deleted shows up in your albums and keeps its count up to date
• Upload photos and videos from your device to your personal library, with the progress of every file in a sheet at the bottom while you keep browsing
• See how many photos and how many videos you have
• Open albums, folders and built-in collections: Favorites, Videos, Live Photos, Panoramas, Screenshots and more
• View photos full screen: swipe between them, pinch or double-tap to zoom, drag the photo away to close, download, share or delete the one you are looking at
• Open the details of a photo or video: date, name, place, camera, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, ISO, exposure, resolution, megapixels, frame rate, length and size, whatever iCloud knows
• Watch videos streamed straight from iCloud
• Switch between your personal library, your iCloud Shared Photo Library, or both
• Ask-first on mobile data: the app checks before it loads your library over a metered connection
• Light and dark themes, with dynamic colour on Android 12 and later
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your Apple Account and password go straight to Apple. There is no server in between
• Your password is never stored; the sign-in session is kept encrypted with the Android Keystore
• No ads, no analytics, no tracking
• Sign out at any time to remove the saved photos from your device
GOOD TO KNOW
• Needs an Apple Account with iCloud Photos turned on
• A big library takes a while to load the first time; photos appear as they arrive
• If Advanced Data Protection is on, allow "Access iCloud Data on the Web" in your Apple Account settings
• Not supported: security-key-only accounts, legacy two-step verification and the mainland China iCloud service
• Only the photos and videos you pick are uploaded, and only to your personal library. The only other thing the app changes in iCloud is what you delete or restore yourself, after a question; downloads only save copies on your device
