RE: Google Just Made It Super Easy to Free Up Space on Your Phone
Hope you know how to use it. Please make sure you select the upload quality as High Quality instead of original in the settings, unless you want the photos backed up to use your Google Drive storage.SarfaRaZ said:Thanks for the reply bro :tup Will Download it now!

If you’re not using Google Photos, then you are outside of your mind. The simple cloud storage solution to keeping all your photos and videos safe from device crashes and prying eyes is only getting better and better as updates roll out, and this newest one makes navigation a breeze.
Photos’ existing navigation UI was by no means cumbersome, but there were a few frequently used features that were tucked away inside menus. The goal of this update is to put these options right at your fingertips so you can get to the tools and images you love faster than ever.
The main addition is a bar that rides along the bottom of the interface. This now houses the Assistant, Photos, and Albums view. “Albums” is what used to be called “Collections,” but the Photos team opted to rename it based on feedback from their users. The Albums view now has a pretty slick carousel at the top that makes it easy to browse through shared albums, animations, people, places, things, movies, collages, and device folders.
If you’re ready to see Google Photos’ new take on user interface, update the app or head over to the Google Play Store by clicking the button below. Let us know what you think of these modifications, and if you’re a long-time Photos user, let the folks at home know what they’re missing out on if they’re not.

Google has consistently been rolling out updates and new features for its Google Photos application to increase its user base. It hasn't only been focusing on its Android platform, but also on a rival mobile operating system - iOS. The company has this time rolled out an update for Google Photos for iOS with a feature exclusive to Apple iPhone models only.
The search giant on Monday rolled out Google Photos on iOS with support for backing up and viewing Live Photos, a feature exclusive to iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus. Besides support for Live Photos, the update also brings improved app navigation, letting users spend less time flipping hamburger menus.
Some of the other features included in Google Photos v1.8.0 for iOS are reduced cache usage when the iOS device is low on space, which might likely be the case with 16GB iPhone models, Split View feature support for iPad Pro, native iPad Pro resolution support, and some performance improvements. The updated app is available to download from the App Store.
Google last week for its Google Photos desktop version rolled out an update that let users edit images faster and with more ease. Users can now swipe between images while staying in the edit mode. As soon as the user moves away from the edit mode, the edits will be saved automatically and can be undone as well by clicking on "Revert to Original".
In December, the company also brought the Shared Albums feature to Android, iOS and Web. The feature was shown during the Google I/O conference last year.

Google Photos is one of the best photo storage apps out there, but sometimes it can get a little cluttered. This is especially apparent after you take a long trip. If you want to reminisce about your recent vacation, the last thing you want to do is sort through hundreds of photos and videos that don’t look the best. You can always manually create a gallery filled with your photos, but that takes a lot of time. Luckily now you don’t have to go through that process, because a new update is rolling out to Google Photos that will greatly enhance the way albums are put together.
Google Photos will now suggest a new album for you after your trip, featuring only your best shots. You can of course customize it, add captions and also turn on collaboration to let others alter it before saving it to your gallery. It will also add maps to your album to show you how far you’ve traveled, as well as location pins to show you where you stayed.
The new album experience is rolling out starting today on Android, iOS and the web. You don’t even need to grab the update from the Play Store, either. Just make sure you’re on the latest version of Google Photos, and you should get these new enhancements at some point today.

The Google Photos update to v1.17 on Android automatically saves a copy of your original photo, even if you’ve edited and saved it, without duplicating it. This means that no matter what you do to your image, including excessive cropping or going crazy with filters, you can always get the original image back, just as it was the day you took it.
After you’ve got the update, when you edit an image and tap the Save button, you’ll see a popup saying Photos no longer saves a copy of your photo, but that you can undo edits in future. This way you can save an edited image as usual but without creating a duplicate in your album. If you ever want to go back to the original, just open the photo, open it for editing, tap the overflow menu and hitUndo edits.
Non-destructive editing is an elegant solution to the “doubling up” Photos used to do – keeping the original and adding a new edited version to your library. Photos now keeps the original file “inside” the edited version, kind of like how you can endlessly undo changes in Photoshop to return to the original image. The reduction of duplicates will please some and undoubtedly irritate others, as a return to the original means you’ll now lose your edited version.

In what earlier seemed like an April Fools special by the tech giant, users of Google Photo can now search for images using emoji icons.
Google Photos is already known for having an impressive image search function using its image recognition skills allowing users to easily filter through a hefty load of photographs by naming places, people and things.
Google decided to take things to the next level by allowing users to search using any emoji face or icon that comes to mind when, according to Google "words aren't enough" or put simply, when users are too lazy to type out words. Icons such as the sunglasses smiley reveals photos of people in sunglasses, in the sun and on beachfronts for example.
At the time of writing, the emoji search was still supported in Google Photos.
