Google Photos already works on foldable phones like the Samsung Galaxy Fold

Google thinks that foldable phones are the future. The firm is fully convinced that these phones are the solution to the hybrid between mobile and tablet. That is the reason why it will bet on these mobiles and will work on adapting the vast majority of its applications to screens that can be folded. In the coming weeks we will see the first two on the market, the Huawei Mate X and the Samsung Galaxy Fold.

Samsung confirmed in its presentation that Google would make this adaptation to mobile phones in a folding format.One of the first applications to arrive with this adaptation is Google Photos, which is now compatible with mobiles that bend. The interface of the application has been adapted for screens of this type and will vary depending on the state of the phone (open or closed).

Google Photos adapts to foldable phones

Google's default gallery has been modified this week, receiving the update a little before the release of the two new folding mobiles. The operation of Google Photos will be similar but it will be able to adapt to screens of this type at the time of its opening or closing. This is totally necessary for folding mobiles to have a place in the market, since the ecosystem of applications adapted to this new format is still too small.

With this small announcement, Google makes it clear that Android is in favor of folding type mobiles and this application is the one that puts up the first flag. The Google Photos update for this type of mobile is ready. The Galaxy Fold will arrive in stores in just a couple of weeks, although in some countries it has suffered delays in its launch. In the case of Huawei, it will hit the market in June and we hope it won't have as many accidents as Samsung's mobile.

If you are one of those who is going to buy a foldable smartphone, you should know that Google Photos will be one of the applications that you can use on your new adapted mobile. It is possible that after this announcement other Google applications such as YouTube, Chrome and all kinds of platform applications begin to receive improvements to work well on foldable mobiles . Do you also think they are the future?

The application can be downloaded from Google Play.
