Possibly the best offering from the company is Google Photos. It’s packed with strong, entertaining, and incredibly practical features that will make your life easier. The top features of Google Photos for Android, iPhone, and the web will be demonstrated.
Share Photos Automatically
Making it as simple as possible to share images is one of the key motivations for taking pictures. Google Photos offers the option to automatically share specific images as part of its “Partner Sharing” capabilities.
You can decide to automatically share images of someone with another person. For instance, your partner may see any pictures you take of your child. The heavy work is done for you by Google Photos, which recognizes faces.

Adjust the Backup Quality
**
Although you don’t have infinite storage, Google Images is excellent for storing up photos. Changing the backup quality is one simple approach to consume less storage.
On most devices, there are two upload size choices. The highest resolution available is “Original Quality,” while “Storage Saver” or “High Quality” reduces photographs to 16 MP and films to 1080p. Select the one that most closely matches your requirements.
Put Sensitive Photos in the Locked Folder
**
It’s fantastic to always have a camera with you, but it also means that all of your images are always with you. You might want to hide some of your pictures and videos from curious eyes. The “Locked Folder” has a role in this.
Simply said, the “Locked Folder” is a unique folder in the Google Photos app for Android that is secured by your screen lock. Anything in the Locked Folder is kept private from the rest of the device and is not cloud-backed. However, as of August 2022, the functionality is still unavailable for iPhones.
Hide People from Memories
Google Photos’ “Memories” function brings back old pictures and videos from the last year, two years, or based on specific topics. Up until that point, it’s a fun feature.
You may prevent certain dates, people, animals, and even places from appearing in your Memories. It makes advantage of Google’s facial identification capabilities to determine whether photographs contain people or animals you don’t want to view any longer.
Automatically Add Photos to an Album
**
Albums are undoubtedly a significant component of photo organizing, particularly with Google Photos. Adding fresh images and videos to your albums on a regular basis might get tiresome. Why not just let Google do it?
Special albums known as “Live Albums” are connected to Google’s facial recognition function. Simply select the people and animals you want to include in the album, and Google will do the rest. Very simple.
Display Your Photos as a Slideshow
A wonderful method to share your memories and experiences with others is by sharing images. Google Photos offers a slideshow option since scrolling through a large album may be tiresome.
Both the desktop website and the Google Photos mobile applications have a slideshow option. Almost anywhere—the main camera roll or a specific album—can launch the slideshow. Take a seat and enjoy!
Look Back at Photos with “I’m Feeling Lucky”
**
It’s simple to overlook some of the older photographs in your Google Photos library if you have a large collection. Making use of the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button is a great way to look back. Yes, it does extend beyond Google Search.
The “I’m Feeling Lucky” button may be accessible from the home screen shortcut in both the iPhone and Android applications. It will display images and videos related to a subject or region, such “basketball.”
DOWNLOAD ENTIRE ALBUM
One of the greatest cloud storage options for pictures and movies is Google Photos. Having all of your eggs in one basket is not a good idea. Your Google Photos albums should occasionally be backed up locally.
The good thing is that Google makes doing this really simple. Simply open an album on Google Photos, choose “Download All” from the menu, and then visit the website. You’ll receive a ZIP file containing every item.
FREE UP STORAGE SPACE
**
Google Photos does not provide infinite free storage, as was previously stated. One method for conserving storage space is to change the backup quality. Utilizing the integrated storage management tool is an additional option.
It is simple to discover what items are using up the most space thanks to the storage management feature. Your media is arranged according to size, screenshots, hazy images, and more. Making room doesn’t require as much time-consuming searching through your images.
MAKE SCAPBOOKS AND PRINT
Let’s discuss how to use such images in the actual world. You might believe that downloading and uploading your images to a printing provider is necessary. In reality, everything can be done directly from Google Photos.
There are features in Google Photographs for making canvas prints, normal prints, scrapbooks, and even a monthly subscription of 10 photos. You may pick up your creations at selected retail locations or have them shipped to your house.
