What’s changed

• • Feeling generous? You can now gift a Flickr Pro subscription in smaller increments than one year, including one week and one month.
  • PicsArt is now offering a one-month trial of their creative platform to all Flickr Pros! Read more details or head to your Pro Perks by visiting your account settings.
  • If you receive new notifications while checking your notifications from the bell icon, you’ll have an option to “show newer items.”
  • When you click on a plural faves notification or on the faves text on a photo page, you’ll now be presented with a faves pop-up that lists everyone that has faved the photo, listed by the most recent fave activity. Happy faveing!

Behind the scenes

• Nick, from the Flickr engineering team, explains our partnership with Akita and how the team handles working with legacy systems. (If this interests you, we’re hiring!)
