Google Photos launches feature to group similar images
summary
Google Photos, an image management service, has introduced a new feature that allows users to group similar photos for easier organization and accessibility. When you open the app, a pop-up window appears explaining the functionality of the feature, allowing similar photos and videos to be grouped into packages. This facilitates effective organization and quick access to content.
How it works
When Similar Photos is turned on, photos are displayed in packs of different sizes, each containing a prominent image, a distinctive icon, and a number indicating the amount of photos and videos in the package. Users can share collages by long pressing on the package, choosing "Share" and choosing to share all photos or only the featured photo.
Google automatically creates these photo packages, combining photos and videos taken within a short time frame. The featured image in each package is automatically highlighted, providing users with different customization options, such as ungrouping images, rearranging them, changing the raised image, or deleting specific images.
Use on Android and iOS
This feature is available on both Android and iOS platforms. Users can access it by going to Settings, selecting preferences, and enabling or disabling the "Group Similar Images" feature.
