  The Pierre Auger Observatory, located in Argentina, provides an unprecedented
integrated aperture for the search of photons with energy above 100 PeV. In
this contribution recent results are presented including the diffuse search for
photons and the directional search for photon point sources. The derived limits
are of considerable astrophysical interest: Diffuse limits place severe
constraints on top-down models and start to touch the predicted GZK photon flux
range while directional limits can exclude the continuation of the
electromagnetic flux from measured TeV sources with a significance of more than
5$\sigma$. Finally, prospects of neutral particle searches for the upcoming
detector upgrade AugerPrime are highlighted.
