The company Google usually introduces new features in its services and applicationson an almost weekly basis. And Google Photos is no exception. In its latest version, the application to save photos and videos in the cloud has improved its search tool, which allows you to find albums, photos of specific moments and snapshots from the past in just a couple of screen taps.Do you want to know how? Well, keep reading.
On Google Photos version 1.19 for the Android platform , for which this new version has already been launched, we must speak of a notable change when looking for images And it is that There is no longer a floating button in the lower right corner for this action, instead Google has opted for a ubiquitous search bar at the top of the screen. Something that can be more comfortable and above all recognizable for users.
In this way, all you have to do is click on the search bar to display a whole list of options and suggestions with which to find, roughly, the content we want. The list contains search suggestions, but also past searches This makes it easier come across photos that have already been previously searched for, or that may be of interest to the user.But there is more news.
Next to the list of suggestions and past searches, this bar also displays a special section for the types of content that you want look for. That is, animations, collages, videos, screenshots, selfies and other types of images that can be found in the user's gallery. Those who have used this search tool more will realize that this type of content is reminiscent of the old search screen that was accessed through the replaced floating button . The difference is that from now on we do without images and a proper search screen, leaving all the work to this simplified bar.
Lastly, the drop-down list of this search bar also contains a space for the placesA kind of filter with which to find all the snapshots taken around a certain location Something that makes it easier to find the photos of last summer on the beach, the videos of Christmas in town, or any geopositioned content at a certain point.
The changes compared to the previous version of the application are more than notable. In fact, more than one user will miss the possibility of browsing through all these filters, types of content and sections with their respective graphic representations, that is, with a photo that frames them. It is true that with this new search bar the process is streamlined, saving several steps, but the user experience is lost
In any case, the new version 1.19 of Google Photos is already gradually reaching all users throughGoogle Play Store fully free.
