Google on Thursday launched a redesigned version of Google Photos app to help people better organize their pictures and videoes.
Google photos that now includes a new map feature, a new icon and three tabs to organize your photos. With over one billion users, Google Photos is one of the most popular apps to store photos.
* Here's what's new with Google Photos.
• Simplified design :
The refreshed app uses a new three - tab layout with Photos, Search, and Library pages. Photos and Videos are now prominent. The update makes your photos appear slightly larger and have less space between them. The photos tab has also been updated with larger thumbnails, auto-playing videos. With the update, Google has clearly given the emphasis on search, which is now front and center in the navigation bar at the bottom.
• Memories :
Last year, Google introduced a Memories feature that let users revisit photos taken this time a few years ago. Now, Google is adding more types of memories, which include the best pictures of you and your closest friends and family over the years, trips and highlights from the last week. Google is also moving automatic creations - like : movies, collages, and animations from the now expired for you tab and into memories.
• Map view :
At last, Google is finally adding a Map view to photos. You can easily interact with the map by Pinching and Zooming to explore where you've taken pictures. To use this feature, you have to enable location from your device camera, location history, or manually add locations.
• Library tab:
Google has also added a new Library tab to photos, a place to see your albums, favourites, trash, archive and more.
Google says the new photos app redesign will coming to Android and iOS over the next week.
