There are now categories such as palpitations (emotional story at the beginning), moments (photo scenes of the month), story , report or title . The scope is approx. 150 pages including advertisements.

On August 19, 2019, Gruner + Jahr announced that the View photo community will be closed on October 16, 2019.
