Google Photos has already mastered the times. Depending on the day of the year, the application can offer montages and small slideshows. Did you take a trip to that day two years ago? You will receive a notification later” Rediscover this day in a year like this which takes you directly to a selection of photos taken on that date. This is part of a larger feature called Timeline that lets you go back in time in both Google Photos and Google Maps.
With the new version of Google Photos, stamped 4.52 and the Mountain View company, which is deployed on smartphones, also wants to master the field. Our colleagues at 9to5Google reviewed the APK for this version of Photos and discovered traces of a future feature: map view of albums. would be named explore your world So it comes in addition to the currently recommended (but pretty simple) sorting of photos by geographic location.
Your photos appear on a map
The idea is pretty simple. You take pictures. They have geolocations and the information is integrated into the EXIF data (of course this functionality must be enabled for it to work). When saved to Google Photos, the system classifies them by geographic coordinates and positions them on a “Google Maps” type map. You can zoom in or out to expand or narrow the search. The system tells you how many photos were taken in the observed area (and positions them for you).
Our colleagues also discovered two more interesting facts. First, it is possible to remove or reposition a photo if necessary. Then he would use Google Photos artificial intelligence to improve location on the map depending on the context (for example, by recognizing a monument). Map discovery is a nice feature to bring to Google Photos which is going in the direction of simplifying sorting in albums. Note that iOS users can already enjoy a similar view in Apple Photos.
