Google Photos (or Photos) is a popular application that serves both as a gallery and as a cloud. And now it brings us news that until now we had in its web version and we will finally have it on our Android phones such as manual face tagging or modifying the timestamp. This is what we will see in the next updates to Google Photos.
David Lieb, Google's product manager, has revealed in a series of tweets the news that we will see in Photos. That is why we can talk about confirmations, and these are the features that they will add.
Manual face tagging
One of the things that we will see that we think was quite important to add is the face tagging manually.
That is, right now Google automatically detects your faces and assigns all the photos to one face, and if you wanted to do it manually, you couldn't. But now you can go to the photo and assign a face to it if it has not been automatically detected by the application.
Recently uploaded photos
If you use Google Photos to share your applications directly from there on the desktop version you already had an option to recently uploaded where you could see your photos recently shared with the world (or with your friends, who knows).
This feature now comes to the mobile version for Android, something quite useful if you are a regular user of Google Photos. If you don't share your stuff from Google Photos maybe you should, is a solution to the poor quality of Instagram stories.
Modify the timestamp
The timestamp is the information the photo has about the date and time it was taken. In its web version you had the option to modify this information (it has its uses to be able to modify it), but you could not do it from the mobile phone version, but now things will change.
You can now do it from your mobile phone. For some users it will not have any kind of value, but surely those who like to play with metadata or organize their photos in their own way will find this type of option fabulous.
Modification of the date and time from the web client
Automatically share photos of your pets
And finally we will have the option to automatically share the photos of your pets with your companions from your shared albums.
If you activate the option in a shared album to share photos of your pets automatically, when you take a photo of your pet with your mobile, Google Artificial Intelligence will detect it and automatically put that photo in the shared album with the option activated .
All this we will suppose that we will see it in the Google Pixel first in some betas, but we do not think it will take long to deploy. We will be waiting to see when we see all these news.
