  • The brand new Plex Photos app is the newest application from the company.
  • Geared towards Plex Media Server owners, it allows you to view and organize your server’s photo library.
  • The app is currently in beta for Android and iOS.

Four years ago, Plex launched Plexamp, a standalone app focused exclusively on streaming music. This was one of the first times the company created an app to do one thing, as opposed to the main Plex app, which streams movies, TV shows, music, and more all under one roof. Plexamp became an immediate hit and is still one of the biggest reasons Plex Media Server owners stick with Plex.

Today, Plex is rolling out a new app called Plex Photos, and it’s aiming to repeat the success it had with Plexamp. As one would expect, Plex Photos allows you to view and organize the photos you have stored on your Plex server. This will allow you to always have access to those photos without needing to take up space on your smartphone.
