Google+ Photos shuts down definitively
In Google they continue to make the last adjustments so that their failed social network Google+ is separated from the functions and services that users do use. That is why will finally shelve the application and photo service through this social network That is, from Google+ Photos Something not to be confused at any time with the recent application Google Photos which, despitevarious recent issues, users of major mobile platforms seem to be liking it.
The announcement comes directly from the official account of Google+ on its own social network A post positively assessing the use of Google Photos as a new tool to create backup copies of all the photos and videos of the user, in addition to managing everything as a powerful gallery All this to the detriment of the old Google+ Fotos, which allowed the user's gallery to be managed and connected directly to the social network of the Mountain View company
The conclusion is that Google+ Photos will stop working as an application as of the next day of August The first affected will be terminal users Android, who will notice that this tool stops working to manage their photos.In the following weeks it will be the web versions and the iOS version that will cease to exist and provide service to users.
But what does this imply to the users of this old photo application? The short answer to this question is: nothing The photographs and videos that users have gone to going up over time will remain safe in the Google cloud And the space where they are stored remains the same. The only change the company wants to make is to applications, leaving Google+ behind , now that there is no longer a relationship between the photo service and the social network. All this in pursuit of Google Photos, which is presented as one of the best options, if not the best, to save a copy of the terminal's audiovisual content on the cloud: unlimited and free
In doing so, he urges Google+ Photos users to take the leap and download the new application. A truly complete tool that allows you to create automatic backup copies of all user content. In addition, it does not neglect the automatic creation of collages, animations or improved photos after they have been uploaded to the cloud. It also has a intelligent search engine capable of recognizing the contents of the photographs, helping to recover those of food, dogs, lakes, landscapes or any other variety just by searching for it on the magnifying glass icon.
In short, one more step to improve the user experience with the storage service for photos and videos, but also in terms of It still seems like the end of the social project of Google+And it is that this social network has not finished taking off, and it is more difficult for it to do so now that it does not have the support of this mapping tool.
