Let me see if I understood the newer mechanics... I can get the photo in person with fruit with a full stack (10?), no less?

I specify the minimum amount in a stack in the TL;DR

TL;DR:
Gift them wrapped stack of 2 nonnative fruit, 8 native fruit, or 3 coconuts until you can change their greeting. Then either do the fruit stack trick (higher chance of a photo) or continue gifting wrapped stacks of fruits. This is the only way to keep a villager 100% original and gives you more control over their house and wardrobe.

I've been gifting wrapped duplicate fossils as gifts lmao, but I'll defo try this when I run out of fossils.

wow this makes sense as to why it's so hard for me to get my last picture from dom. he was the last villager that joined my island super late and i've been struggling just to get his photo. it was a breeze getting my other 9 photos before the update. lol thanks nintendo

 

[Sharksheep]

Added details on how to get multiple photos. Added clarity on how stack of items value are calculated. Added yue's gifting guide

 

[Katzenjammer]

Thanks very much for the information!

I built my friendship up with Audie giving her single wrapped fruits for about a month, knowing at the time that it wouldn't get me a photo. When the update changed it back to getting photos with fruit, I started giving her wrapped stacks of fruit. It finally paid off today and I got my first photo from her.

good to know about the 65 gifts before second photo, can now gift them clothes i want them to have or ramp up on earning extra friendship points during that period

• Updated image for fruit stack trick

• Adding proof for gifting fruit

Today, I tried giving a wrapped 10-stack of native fruit to Gabi and I got her photo! I was already friends with her since she's been on my island for months now, but I didn't expect it the first time I used this method.

It's rng whether or not you get the photo once you reach friendship lvl5-6. There's no guarantee. It can take you a few days or weeks before you get a photo with giving.

It appears nothing was changed. I'll update it if I hear a something different. Continue with whatever gifting method you have been doing.

I was worried when I saw you updated this, lol.

I think the only thing that may've changed is I'm guessing you could use candy/pumpkins for the stack method now- I haven't gotten a pic that way, but I did get a mailed gift from Sylvia by giving her a pumpkin, so if you're one of the people who plants a hundred or so and need something to do with them... I'm guessing it'd work.

The candy sell value is too low for them to mail back an item to do the stack trick with I think. Pumpkins sell for 350 a piece so they should work for a photo too eventually.

Ah, okay. Probably don't wanna waste it, either! But I know for a fact you get an item mailed for pumpkins- dunno for sure if you can get a pic that way, though. But I figure a lot of people may end up with extra pumpkins, so that could be a potential use for them.

It falls under the same gifting tier as a single non-native fruit which is what you would be giving the villager if you were doing the fruit stack trick so it's fine.

Is it safe to give them crafting materials such as iron and shells? I know they won't display it, but do they store it and will it cause furniture to disappear?

 

[Baroque]

Interesting. I've just been gifting iron wall lamps the whole time and it's not like I'm running out of iron ores either but it's good to know for after I'm out of those Although I'm only missing two villager pics right now ^^'
