Ultra-peripheral collisions at the LHC provide a unique opportunity to study photon-hadron interactions in the new kinematic regime. Recent ALICE results from Run 2 on J/psi photoproduction in ultra-peripheral p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions provide stringent constraints on gluon saturation effects. ALICE measurements on the coherent rho photoproduction allow for the studies of QCD in the black-disc limit and reveal signatures of quantum interference at femtoscopic scales. New ALICE data from Run 3 provide an opportunity to study inclusive photonuclear processes and perform high-precision vector meson photoproduction measurements. In this talk, an overview of recent ALICE results on ultra-peripheral collisions will be presented.
