Top 10 Features of Google Photos

1. Manual backup option for Android phones and tablets

2. Effortless Photos and Videos Uploads

   Apart from auto-syncing photos from the desktop, multiple photos can be uploaded without any hassle using the drag-and-drop option.

3. Removes redundancy

   That means if there are two identical photos in the gallery, it merges them into one and frees up space.

4. High-Quality unlimited storage

5. Easy search with categories

   Google Photos automatically arranges your uploaded pictures into three main categories, which are people, places, and things. It uses advanced image recognition technology and a large database.

   This allows you to easily search photos by specifying a category such as food, buildings, or beaches. You may also be surprised by how the app spots several things in your photos that you might not have noticed.

6. Recognizes similar faces and mark them

   It recognizes and labels similar faces together, which makes searching by names easier. The face groups are restricted to your account and are not accessible to people you share your photos with.

7. Allows merging of similar faces

   In case the above feature labels the same face twice, you can easily merge them into a single label by adjusting the settings.

8. Back up from Other Apps

   By default, it only backs up photos taken with the camera. However, you can also back up photos from other apps such as Instagram, WhatsApp, and Viber.

9. Adjustable view

   In addition to the common zoom in and out option by pinching, there are various other interesting options like monthly view and a "comfortable" view.

10. Allows multiple photo selection

    It allows you to select hundreds of photos with a single tap. Press and hold a photo, then, without lifting your finger, drag in the direction where your pictures are located until you reach the last photo you want to select. As a result, all selected photos will be highlighted at once.
