Google Photos is set to get a major makeover, with multiple changes on the way. Recent reports suggest that the video editor could get a sleek new interface and options to adjust playback speed. There could also be new features for easy photo sharing and a cool Memories tool to simplify editing old footage
Finding what you’re looking for in Google Photos is easier
In Google Photos version 6.94, newly found code strings point to two upcoming search filters: Most Recent and Best Match. The Most Recent filter, as you might expect, will sort your search results by date, with your most recent photos displayed first. The Best Match filter will refine your search results to show you photos that actually fit your query
Currently, if you search for “flower” in Google Photos, you might see a bunch of photos that have nothing to do with flowers. Using the Best Match filter, the app will crop out the irrelevant shots and only show you photos that contain flowers
Google isn’t stopping at new search filters, either. The tech giant is also planning to make albums scrollable directly in search results. While these features aren’t yet available in the current version of Google Photos, keep an eye out for them in future updates. This may seem like a minor update, but it could save time and help users find what they’re looking for faster. Additionally, this could be just the beginning of more filters being added to Google Photos. I wouldn’t be surprised if Google rolled out more options in the future. We’ll just have to wait and see how things develop
