Google Photo: The new image viewer reaches everyone
We talked about it just a week ago, when Google had officially started the Rollout, but then the New image viewer He had not yet reached a large number of users in the Android version of Google Photo.
In the last few hours it seems to have been a decisive accelerated in the release, which continues side of server (like almost all gradual rollouts) and is available regardless of that on your device you perform the version 7.41 or the version 7.42 of the app.
The line line at the bottom keeps the configuration with four buttons but changes the button icon Change (with two lines ending with a ball instead of the three sliders) and the button “Lens ” is replaced by the “Add to “.
The function of the menu with the three balls at the top right also changes: previously, it opened the information sheet (to the bass appeared), showing a whole series of information related to photography; Now, it opens a real menu that offers further actions.
The information screen appeared from the bottom remains but in a simplified guise: it loses, in fact, the entire row of quick controls present so far (these options have been relocated to the menu with the three dots or in the “Add to “).
The user interface of the photo viewer also changes when we have similar photos grouped: the photo chosen as a cover is highlighted by a badge in the upper part.
In the lower part, immediately under the photo, the carousel of the grouped photos continues to be present but, next to it, a contextual menu now from which it is possible to perform the actions previously assented with a button with four squares: “Keep this, eliminate the rest”, “Remove from the list of filters”, “Separate group”, “Multiple selection” And “Manage the filters”.
How to download or update the Google photo app
To download or update the app Google Photo On an Android device, just reach the page dedicated to the app on the Google Play Store (via TAP on the Badge below) and possibly make a tap on “Install” (if you do not install it) or on “Update” (if you mark the presence of an update).
As anticipated at the opening, the novelty of Google photos we have just discussed it is hidden Within the latest version of the app and we do not yet know when (and if) will actually be made available for all users.
A nice news arrives in the iOS version
Google photos for iOS In a sense, the stock photo of the iPhone is “drawing”, bringing a function to create a sticker starting from any photo on the Apple house devices.
As you can see from the following video, users are actually notified of the novelty called Create stickers from your photos: to exploit it, just hold down a subject to create a sticker; The subject will be highlighted, surrounded by an animated edge and flanked by the two options “Copy” And “Share” To share it immediately in chat, messaging app and more.
The functionality is not available in the app version of the app and we do not know if it will actually be implemented by Google: on the other hand, the iOS photo app offers a greater number of options related to the creation of stickers than those that the third -party photographic galleries can offer.
