If you are one of those who regularly use Google Photos to manage the images stored on your mobile, do not miss these 5 features of Google Photos that will soon arrive on your mobile and that will be truly useful.
More than 1 billion users use Google Photos to save and manage their photos. Now Google, the company that owns Google Photos, announces new updates to the application to improve the user experience.
Among these new 5 features of Google Photos that will soon arrive on your mobile, there is no shortage of those related to memories, moving images or privacy.
MEMORIES OF THE BEST OF THE MONTH, TRIPS, EVENTS AND CELEBRATIONS.
In 2019 Google Photos launched the “Memories”, which were nothing but photographs that summarized moments of a specific year. Now the company has developed functions that through artificial intelligence will rescue photos of people, activities or events.
From today, photos that summarize memories of a given month and of trips will be available in the photo grid itself. At the end of the year, Google Photos will show you specific memories of celebrations such as Christmas or New Years’.
PHOTOS THROUGH PATTERNS
Google memories are collections of photos made at a certain time. These memories are carried out by Google through “little patterns”. The little patterns what they do is look for a set of three or more images that are similar in shape and color and then highlight them to the user.
This selection can for example compile photos of a room taken on different dates or years. These images alone are not remarkable but compiled they can be interesting.
YOUR PHOTOS COME TO LIFE THANKS TO CINEMATIC PHOTOS
Among the 5 features of Google Photos that will soon arrive on your mobile, there is no shortage of photos that seem to come to life. Google Photos brings a new tool that is based on cinematographic photos that Google launched in 2020. Using 3D machine learning in photos, the application will create moving images by filling in the spaces between the photos.
This motion picture feature does not currently have a release date but is expected to arrive on the platform in the coming months.
IMPROVE THE WAY YOU HIDE PHOTOS
Not all photos like and some may not interest us or see them when we open the Gallery. For this, Google has improved the tools to hide images in Google Photos. These functions will improve image management in the application.
In addition, users can also delete a single photo from “Memories”, delete some of the images from “Memories of the month” or rename this type of album.
FOLDERS LOCKED TO INCREASE PRIVACY
If at a certain moment we have to lend our mobile to another user and we do not want them to see certain photos that we save in the gallery, the new Google Photos locked folder tool will be perfect to restrict access to the images we choose.
The locked folders in Google Photos are places for storing images that will be protected by password or by the user’s own fingerprint, thus preventing access and increasing privacy. These photos will not appear in the grid or in the shared albums, no one except their author will be able to see those more personal and delicate photos that should not be too exposed.
This locked folders feature will first be available to Google Pixel users. In Google Pixel, users can directly save the images in the locked folder when they are taken from the camera.
For the rest of the Android devices, the locked folder function for photos will arrive in the next few months. In any case, you won’t have to wait long to be able to use it.
