Immich could be an option ( has an app and user mgmt ).
Photoprism can work too, but that only had a web/PWA version IIRC.
Also - If you're looking for Auto-Sync features for the photos ( automatic upload when you take the pics ) there isn't a free option on Android for photoprism ( I think ). There's photo-sync, which will cost you about 3 euros or something.
If they want to upload pictures manually then there's no issue.
Immich is probably not great for this because its massively updated with breaking changes every few versions. I am going to assume OPs family will not be OK to keep installing the latest mobile app for access. If they are the average user they want to install it once and that's it. But maybe I am wrong and they are tech savy, then it would be a nice solution.
Fair Point! I'm running photoprism myself which is stable, even though the PWA works well, it'd be nice to have a native app that can do the syncing rather than having to buy/rely on a 3rd party tool.
They're probably going to install it through Google Play tho (if it's available there) so it'd be pretty easy, and probably automatic, to update it
