Photo Stacks And Screenshot Categorization: Here’s What’s New With Google Photos،
Google Photos has launched two new features to help users organize their gallery. The first feature is called Photo Stacks. It groups similar photos together to avoid clutter. The second feature identifies screenshots and categorizes them so you can find them easily. Both features are starting to roll out to Google Photos users on Android and iOS and should be available to all users within a few days.
What is stock photos in Google Photos?
When clicking on images, users often take multiple photos to get the best one. However, they might forget to clean the rest. Over time, this adds a lot of clutter to users’ galleries. Therefore, to help users keep their galleries tidier, the Photo Stacks feature automatically identifies and groups similar photos into a virtual stack. It also sets the first choice that “best captures this moment” and sets it as the stack image.
Users can also choose their own stack image, edit stacks by deleting images, or turn off the feature at any time to see everything in the order they clicked. Additionally, Photo Stacks is a great feature for users who click many images using their smartphone and forget to delete the extra photos which are not usable.
Categorizing screenshots
Users often take screenshots of receipts, online payments, schedules, and other important items. However, these screenshots often get lost in the plethora of images in the users’ gallery. To address this, Google Photos uses AI to identify and classify screenshots and documents into albums such as IDs, receipts, event information, and more. This makes it easy to find what users need and when they need it without scrolling through all their photos.
Additionally, users can even set reminders in Google Calendar from screenshots of a post or event flyer. For example, if users have a screenshot of a movie ticket in Google Photos, they can tap “Set reminder” to add it to their calendar, and as the movie time approaches, users will receive a reminder. Users can also choose to archive their screenshots after 30 days, freeing up space in the users’ gallery.
