I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report.

The bug

When creating a "Random Photo" android homescreen widget, I cannot select an album not created by me for display.

My concrete usecase: I have an album that I have shared with someone else ("Photos of the kids", with my parents). I can create a Random Photo widget on my phone, they cannot.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature request, however I would think that this is part of the expected behavior of the Widget functionality, so I filed this as a bug report.

@dsvf commented on GitHub (Oct 18, 2025):

To add to this:

  • The widget gets the list of albums from the API in RandomConfigure.kt
  • The API returns only albums created by me, unless the API parameter "shared" is set to true: doc
  • However, in ImmichAPI.kt, this optional query parameter is not set.
  • I think the line (ImmichAPI.kt, Line 111) would have to be patched to val url = buildRequestURL("/albums", listOf(Pair("shared","true"))). Unfortunately, I don't have a complete dev environment for Immich setup so I can't test this.

Maybe this could be added?

Well, I setup a dev environment and the one-line fix at least made shared-with-me-but-not-owned albums appear in the Random widget setup dropdown list. If no one else picks this up in the meantime, I'll try and do a bit more testing and set up a PR.
