Google Photos for Android offers users more control over how they view their photos and media.
With the new update, users can now customize their photo grid view even further.
The update allows users to personalize their experience by choosing whether to show or hide photos, GIFs, and videos from other apps within the grid view to keep things more organized and less cluttered.
One key addition is the “Show content from other apps” option, which gives users greater control over what appears in the grid.
There are two sub-options under this feature. One is “Only show backed-up content,” which limits the display to only photos and videos that have been backed up to Google Photos, and the other one is “Hide clutter from other apps,” which hides content from other apps.
The new customization options are being introduced in Google Photos version 7.14 for Android.
It is important to note that the “Only show backed-up content” option in Google Photos displays photos from apps, rather than the default camera app, only if they’ve been backed up or are waiting to be backed up.
The “Hide clutter from other apps” option, on the other hand, will hide items like screenshots, GIFs, and memes from view in your grid after they have been backed up to Google Photos.
Once the update is available, users will see a pop-up message above the Memories section saying, “New! Keep your Photos view free of clutter from other apps.”
