Google Photos News and Updates

[Ankit_bpl]

Google has announced that its photo management service Photos now has more than 100 million monthly active users, a milestone it achieved within just five months of its launch. The service offers iOS and Android apps, and is also available on the Web.

Having 100 million users in just a few months is a big deal given that companies like Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram took years to hit that milestone.

In addition to number of active users, Google also revealed some interesting facts about the service as well its users. For example, people take more photos of dogs than any other animal; top 3 photographed places include Paris, New York, and Barcelona; and users created 15 million animations and collages.

Falling out with a friend or loved one is never fun, but it happens. Sometimes you get into a fight with a friend and care not to see them, sometimes you break up with a significant other. Or maybe they are taken from this world and you just aren’t ready for a photographic reminder of them anytime soon. Whatever the reason, Google Photos has your back.

In a new update, Google is now making it easy to hide a person from appearing under people, which also prevents them from showing up in “rediscover this day” cards. Aside from hiding people you can’t stand, the other obvious use for this is for situations like group photos taken in public places where you didn’t know half the people in the first place.

Keep in mind this doesn’t actually remove pictures with tagged faces, it just keeps them from surfacing. The upside to this is you can easily un-hide people later on down the road if you change your mind.

In typical Google fashion, you can expect Google Photos 1.8 to rollout in stages.

Early this morning, a member of the Google Photos team, John Elstone, announced on Google+ that there are a couple of new features rolling out to Google Photos today. These features aren’t really huge additions to the service, but they are features that will definitely improve the experience that users have with Google Photos.

First up, Google Photos is making it easier to free up storage on their smartphone. In the settings screen, there will be a new option for “Free Up Space”. Now essentially what this does is it allows you to delete photos that are already backed up, but also saved on your phone. So this way you are deleting photos, but they are still backed up to your Google Photos account, and you can find them very easily. It’s a great addition, especially for those that are in need of more space on their device.

The second feature coming to Google Photos is the ability to delete photos from SD-card enabled devices, like the LG V10 or Moto X Pure Edition. There’s a fix rolling out that allows users on some SD-card enabled devices (read: not all SD-card devices) that will allow them to delete photos that are stored on the SD card. The point of this is to prevent the issue where photos continue to show up in the Photos app, even though it’s been deleted.

Finally, Google Photos has one more goodie that will be coming to the web version of Photos on Wednesday. And it’s a good one. Google is adding the ability to downgrade previously uploaded photos to “High Quality”. So for those that always upload in “Original Quality” and decide you need more storage for things in drive, you can easily downgrade them to “High Quality” which will no longer count against your quota. Users can use this feature by going to the Photos website, clicking on Settings and then “Recover Storage” and you’ll be able to downgrade from “Original Quality” to “High Quality”. A great feature, especially for those that take a lot of pictures, but don’t have a ton of Google Storage space.

Google Just Made It Super Easy to Free Up Space on Your Phone

If you're not already using Google Photos, you just got a damn good reason to start.

Thanks to a new update, the app now offers a handy "Assistant" that will free up space on your phone with two taps. And you won't lose the photos either!
The new Assistant feature is available in the settings menu.

It'll prompt you to delete photos and videos that are already backed up on Google servers- where you get free unlimited storage, by the way .

The app will also notify you if you're low on storage and give you the option to delete photos and videos that are more than 30 days old.

Again, everything should already be backed up, so you can keep documenting your life without the need to worry about space.

The update is rolling out on Android now and, as usual, the iOS version will be available
