Google Photos is receiving an update that adds a key improvement when it comes to sharing images to make the process much shorter and easier. The US company’s app has multiple functions that make it an ideal system for storing photos and now it intends to perfect it with these patches.
This is a measure designed by and for the user, since we are increasingly looking for ways to perform tasks in the shortest time possible given the instantaneity of things. It should be noted that this new version may not yet be available on all devices, but there is no reason to be alarmed, sooner or later it will end up being.
Google Photos makes it easy for you
Previously, the method to share a photograph in Google Photos was to select the capture in question by pressing and holding on it (or open it and press the share button) and touch the corresponding option in the upper bar to, immediately, choose the platform by the one you want to transfer.
With version 5.96 of the Mountain View company’s photo program, this seems to be changing and from now on the number of steps required will be even fewer. The first and most striking thing is that the options bar has moved from the top of the screen to the bottom . So both the “Share” function and “Add to” and “Remove” are more accessible, as well as the rest of the available ones.
Mainly, because it makes the route that the user must take with his finger shorter and he can even do it with one hand very easily, because with the current size of mobile screens, reaching the top without going to the two hands is more cumbersome than necessary.
On the other hand, the great novelty is the other option that Google has included in its image program, which is presented as an alternative to the problematic Android gallery. Now, Google Photos users can send the screenshots directly to the contact in question without having to press any more account buttons. This is because the app has included shortcuts in the options bar that appears when you long press an image. So there is no need to search for it manually, saving time during the procedure and avoiding some unnecessary steps.
When will it be available
The colleagues of 9to5google have been the ones who have noticed this update of the app. However, they point out that at the moment not all devices are receiving the changes outlined above. In fact, they indicate that it could be solely and exclusively a limited test and that the Internet giant will later decide whether to include these functions definitively.
This means that we will have to wait for the reactions and responses of the users to see if the news is well received. It is quite likely that this will be the case, since they are additions that improve what was already established. So don’t worry too much if you still can’t get the most out of Google Photos.
