Google Photos is updated with a function to remember old photos
It is true that Google Photos has not started its journey on the best foot. Many users have criticized its limited functions, and have not found in this platform a strong substitute for the Android photo gallery or other apps that fulfill a similar function. However, one of Google's strengths is that it moves very fast, and since its launch it has added several features that improve its performance.The latest update to Google Photos has already begun to arrive on mobile devices, and it includes several functions that can give us a lot of play. This version of Google Photos allows to manage your albums in a much more complete way and now you can crop videos directly in the app . And in addition, the company is rolling out a feature for the most nostalgic: a card that shows us one of the photos we took just a year earlier , with the possibility of quickly sharing it through social networks. We tell you the details.
Google Photos is a platform that separated from Google+ a few months ago , Google's ill-fated social network. This app wants to become a substitute for the traditional Android gallery over time, with a fundamental idea. Group our photos automatically in albums according to the place where they were taken and the people that appear.This is possible thanks to Google technologies to identify both specific places and people. However, this type of grouping has raised a lot of criticism among users, who complained about the difficulties in creating personalized albums according to their own will. A limitation that Google has finally corrected with this new version, which allows to manage our albums much better and move photos between them.
Also, for the more nostalgic we have a new feature that will allow us to take a look at our photos just a year before. Just like Unlike other selections, this photo from the past will appear inserted into a card that we can discard or share with our friends and family through a social network. Speaking of social networks, Facebook had already introduced a similar function a few months ago, although with a fundamental difference.While Google Photos will allow us to turn this feature on or off at will, on Facebook this feature left no choice.
Another function that we can begin to enjoy in Google Photos is the ability to apply a crop to the videos that we have stored directly in the applicationUntil now, this function could only be performed through other Android apps. Without a doubt, it gives every impression that the company wants to turn this tool into something more than an interactive gallery to organize our photos. If you've already used Google Photos, what do you think? Do you consider it an alternative capable of becoming the multimedia center of your phone?
