Google Photos will launch its independent service in a few days
The rumors already pointed in this direction for a few months, and various sources have taken it upon themselves to confirm it. Thus, Google Photos, the photo storage service of the company Google will finally become independent from the social network Google+ The key now is that its solo launch would be very close, perhaps taking advantage of the event for developers scheduled for the end of this month of MayAn expected move that could be the beginning of the end of the failed Google social network
This time it is the media outlet Bloomberg who adds news about the case. Who already stated the news of the separation of these services in March, now adds new data that cites the next event Google I/O as a place to unveil the new path from Google Photos A completely independent service that could seek to compete with applications like Instagram, although offering quite different features.
Their sources, who prefer to remain anonymous, hardly add new information to what is already known by all. And it is that only the official presentation is expected. However, it is suspected that Google Photos will be a complete photo storage service as up to now, taking advantage of all the image enhancement and reproduction technology both on the web and through an application for smartphones and tablets chord.
In this way Google would try to meet many of the needs of users most concerned about their images. On the one hand, having a space dedicated to their storage, counting on them in the cloud or Internetto keep them safe and always available, avoiding saturation of the terminal's memory; and, on the other hand, offering tools for retouching and improvement Maybe the creation of automatic videos as was the case up to now through the social network Google+ Mind you, these are just conjectures for now.
It is not known whether the service will arrive completely renewed, following the lines of the style Material Design and taking advantage of the launch to try to call the attention of users with new features and appearance. Or if, on the contrary, it will simply be the divorce between a complete image storage and retouching tool and the social network where they could be shared with followers, family and friends.
If it finally occurs, Google+ would lose one of its basic pillars One of the complaints that users still went through on the network social to see the photos that some automatically store from their mobile phones, or to touch up images and then publish them Something that makes one think that Google+could be closer to closing or a complete remodel if it doesn't want to end up in oblivion.
At the moment you can only wait until May 28, when the event begins Google I/O, where news about this separation process is expected, and where a renewed photography service with an application included may be presented. We'll be alert.
