The World Imagery Wayback app was introduced in June 2018, delivering access to 81 versions of World Imagery<\/a>. Five years later, that number has doubled. As of September 2023, there are 162 versions of World Imagery in the Wayback archive<\/a>. These 162 records represent a compilation of World Imagery updates over the past 10-years.<\/p>\n

In celebration of this milestone, the Wayback app<\/a> is sporting a fresh new interface. While the updates are largely cosmetic, there are some nice functional enhancements as well. Below is a quick overview, but best to experience this for yourself.<\/p>\n

What’s new<\/h3>\n

The app has an overall new and improved look and feel.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2086662,"id":2086662,"title":"WBApp_Overview_2","filename":"WBApp_Overview_2.png","filesize":2403234,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WBApp_Overview_2.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-living-atlas\/imagery\/a-fresh-look-for-wayback\/wbapp_overview_2","alt":"","author":"7071","description":"","caption":"","name":"wbapp_overview_2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2085562,"date":"2023-09-28 03:00:35","modified":"2023-09-28 03:00:35","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1322,"height":750,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WBApp_Overview_2-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WBApp_Overview_2.png","medium-width":460,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WBApp_Overview_2.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":436,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WBApp_Overview_2.png","large-width":1322,"large-height":750,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WBApp_Overview_2.png","1536x1536-width":1322,"1536x1536-height":750,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WBApp_Overview_2.png","2048x2048-width":1322,"2048x2048-height":750,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WBApp_Overview_2-820x465.png","card_image-width":820,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WBApp_Overview_2.png","wide_image-width":1322,"wide_image-height":750}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/livingatlas.arcgis.com\/wayback\/#active=46399&mapCenter=8.529%2C47.384%2C15"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
