Google Photos is the default application that the Pixels use to store your photos and the truth is that other manufacturers have always managed to make you use their galleries instead of the one that comes by default on Android . This is sometimes a big mistake. Google Photos not only offers unlimited storage of photos for free but also has one of the most powerful editors we can find in applications of this type.
And it is precisely this editor that we want to talk about today, as the 9to5Google team has discovered that one of its most amazing features is already integrated into the application's code.This is the ability to automatically colorize black and white photos, something that was announced at Google I/O 2018 and that many did not know if coming to the app soon.
How will auto color black and white photos from Google Photos?
This feature is already integrated into the latest Google Photos APK and beta files, but users are still unable to enable the feature. We will have to wait a few months for Google to launch it in the beta program and then reveal it to all users. The company already demonstrated at Google I/O how this feature works and it's amazing.
- Just open a photo in Google Photos.
- Click on the settings (the second icon from the bottom from the left).
- Click on the new filter, named Coloring.

If you don't see this filter, the feature is not yet available to you. At this time you can see others such as Automatic, West, etc. The company has put a lot of work into this feature, as in the examples it has shown it seems to hit color naturally and with very good results.
This will allow you to colorize your photos from the past, creating a realistically colored photo. The Google Artificial Intelligence algorithms work perfectly and it is possible that as they are used they will improve the results even more.Another novelty that will soon arrive in the Google Photos application is its own Instagram-style Stories. We hope it doesn't get too fat or we'll have to choose to install Gallery Go, the reduced version that many will love.
