Any way to make nextcloud more like Google Photos? (Solved!) (herbicide.fallcounty.omg.lol)

To be more specific, I have a friend who pointed out a couple of features that they wanted. They're present in Immich, but I'm wondering if they're replicable in Nextcloud since I already have that installed, and Immich is giving me trouble with installation. I'll troubleshoot Immich later if it can't be replicated

The features:

Having a world map that has pins on it based on location EXIF data in photos
Preferably a UI similar to google photos on mobile besides that

Edit: Someone in the comments pointed out that Memories (something I already installed) had come a long way. Ended up finding out there's a mobile app, and it is exactly these two things.

Memories has come a long way.

I don’t think it has the specific features you requested, sorry. But I like it as something that’s baked into my Nextcloud container (esp. as I haven’t had the time to set up Immich yet).

I didn't realize Memories had a mobile app, and it has literally both of the features xD Looks near identical to Google photos, and has map pins in the app. Sweet, ty!

No mobile app…at least not iOS. Did you find one for Android?

I just place a bookmark to the web interface on my home screen to trick me into the “app feel”.

There's one on F-Droid, yeah

Did nextcloud ever fix the bug that would randomly destroy date metadata on photos and reset it to 1970? I had about 20% of my library affected (thank backup of backups!)

I was never able to get .heic previews working properly 2 years back either.

I'm using Immich now and its a lot less of a hassle after leaving beta and breaking changes behind

I don’t think you should switch away from Immich, this was just an “embedded in Nextcloud” suggestion. Sometimes nice to quickly glance at my photo library from the mobile app, esp if confirming uploads went through.

I’ve never experienced that bug, glad you were backed up. Also got HEIC working, I think it involved adding a line to the PreviewGenerator php conf.

Was this images that were auto uploading from a mobile phone? I think the bug was a permission issue in Android, if you don't grant location access it can't get any of the meta data of the photo (iirc).
