There are important updates for Google Photos after those received a couple of months ago to the app interface. One of these is particularly appreciated by users because it responds to a need felt for years by those who used the app on Android smartphones: to be able to quickly delete the shots they do not like directly from the album where they are, with a dedicated button placed in the toolbar. commands.
Until now, a photo could not be deleted directly and permanently from an album, but only removed and then later deleted. The step forward is considerable, but something is still missing because there is a not just limit: the action is allowed only for private albums.
To delete a photo in the shared ones the old and laborious method still has to be adopted. What is surprising is how the function of deleting photos directly from the album, both private and shared, has already been present for some time in the version of Google Photos for iOS and for the web.
Google has also introduced another update, or a new indication in the upper left corner with the date of a shot, which makes the previous system that required scrolling to get to the month and year that interested us become obsolete. Google’s desire to make the use of Photos more practical is evident, considering the centrality that photos and videos now have in our smartphones.
Every day we shoot huge quantities of images and often the difficulty is finding the shot that interests us in our archive, so welcome any attempt by Google to make the search easier.
Hallelujah, Google Photos for Android finally added the “Move to trash” button when viewing photos in albums.
Previously, it’d only allow trashing on the website, and on Android, it only had the remove from album button. pic.twitter.com/kSsxggFJLX
