Top 10 Features of Google Photos
Apart from auto-syncing photos from the desktop, multiple photos can be uploaded without any hassle by drag and drop option
That means if there are two same photos lying in the gallery, it merges them into one, in turn freeing the space.
Google photos automatically arranges your uploaded pictures into three main categories which are people, places and things using advanced image recognition technology and enormous database. Thus you can easily search photos by specifying category e.g. food, buildings, beaches etc. You will be also amazed to see how app spots several things in your photos that you might have not noticed.
It recognizes and labels similar faces together, thus making searching with names easier. The face groups are restricted to your account and won’t be accessible to those with whom you share photos with.
In case the above feature labels same face twice, then you can easily merge them into single label by adjusting the settings.
By default, it only backs up photos taken with the camera, but one can also back up photos from other apps such as Instagram, WhatsApp, and Viber etc.
Apart from having the common zoom in and out option by pinching in and out, there are various other interesting options like monthly view and “comfortable” view.
It allows you to select hundreds of photos with a single tap. Press and hold a photo for some time. Then without lifting your finger, drag in whichever direction you see your pictures are lying till the last photo that you want to select. As a result, the photos of your interest will be selected in one go.
