Google Photos has turned ten years old, believe it or not. To celebrate the occasion, itâs received some new features. First, a redesigned editor, which provides helpful suggestions (including AI suggestions that combine multiple effects). You can also tap an area of an image to only get suggestions for it. Reimagine and Auto frame are located alongside brightness and contrast controls. The new editor is rolling out globally next month on Android, with iOS following âlater this yearâ.

Next, you can share albums with QR codes, and create a personal montage to share, and even revisit the places youâve been with the new Places feature found under the collections tab. All of your photos will be seen here geographically pinned on an interactive map.
Search is better and you can ask exactly what youâre looking for without worrying about using a keyword. Google notes that for best results you should always name the faces in your photos. The app also lets you remove items that are already backed up in order to free up space on your device.
Google Photos will keep whipping up Best of Month and Year End Recaps automatically, and you can personalize what you see in your grid by letting the app stack similar pictures that were taken close together, or hide screenshots, GIFs and memes. Speaking of customization, you can hide specific people, pets, or dates, as well as choose between time-based or themed memories.
