Google Photos will get a (most commonly) upgraded symbol viewer UI

Google lately printed a new-look symbol editor for Google Photos, which drew a combined response from customers. Now, it seems like the corporate has introduced some visible tweaks to the picture viewer UI.

The Google Photos app for Android is now receiving a revised viewer UI. For one, the Google Lens shortcut button on the backside of the viewer has been changed with an Add to button, permitting you so as to add the picture/video to an album, an archive, or a locked folder. Google has additionally got rid of the forged shortcut on the most sensible of the viewer. Furthermore, the time, date, and site of the picture are actually proven on the most sensible of the UI.

However, probably the most notable exchange is that the three-dot icon now opens a brand new choices menu (see 3rd symbol above). Tapping this icon would prior to now summon the acquainted data/metadata menu, which is able to nonetheless be activated with an upward swipe. The new menu hosts choices like Google Lens, a Create shortcut (for highlights/collages/cinematic pictures), the Use as possibility, Cast capability, and extra.

The data/metadata menu (observed above) has additionally gained some adjustments. The largest exchange is that the aforementioned choices, that have been prior to now discovered right here, were moved out into the brand new three-dot menu. You too can successfully see all 4 results without delay as an alternative of scrolling to view the fourth one.

Most of those adjustments appear very good. I particularly like the brand new choices menu, despite the fact that those choices had been prior to now to be had within the data/metadata menu. However, I do consider that a couple of individuals who steadily use the Lens or Cast shortcuts may well be pissed off with those tweaks.

In any match, we’re seeing those new adjustments in contemporary variations of Google Photos downloaded by means of the Play Store (e.g., v7.42). I additionally noticed this UI in v7.41, suggesting that you simply don’t want the most recent replace to look those tweaks.

This isn’t the one notable exchange we’ve noticed in contemporary weeks. Some customers have gained a Tinder-style swiping mechanic to temporarily delete blurry pictures. Google Photos may be getting the power to raise photograph topics as stickers, however handiest on iOS. We hope this latter function involves Android quickly.
