The technology giant’s image service serves as both an application and a cloud. We are talking about Google Photos, which is preferred by many Android users as a gallery application. This continues to be updated and adding new features Check out the new photo picker support to take advantage of the operating system’s features.

But it not only maintains its relationship with Android, but also expands its horizons independently of it, as with the announcement of grouped photos. ‘We met in November’Photo Stacks‘, some groups of similar images that will help us better organize our library. After waiting for weeks for its release, we can say this: They finally landed.

Google Photos says “enough” to repeated photos

It’s intriguing to see the evolution of Google Photos, with many changes such as saying goodbye to unlimited and free storage. Now the focus is on features that make users’ lives easier. We learned about one of these last summer, when the Photos image editor abandoned the mobile phone to access the Internet.

The next step of this service and application has already arrived. ‘Photo Stacks‘ was announced last November but we have not seen it implemented until now. Mountain View company used Artificial Intelligence to bring this feature to light and here is it will automatically organize similar looking images.

Specifically, what Google is telling us is that it will help “in short order” of similar photos taken together. Yes, it will be great in cases where we press the camera shutter to take different shots. Until now, if we wanted to clear duplicate photos, we had to do it manually one by one.

But with the arrival of these piles of photos, Google only uses them a single image in the grid from the gallery These grouped items appear in the “Photos” tab, the general tab, where a number and icon will be displayed in the upper-right corner of the thumbnail.

In this way, it will indicate to us that this grouping has occurred. When you tap on it, all the images contained in a carousel in which we can move will appear. Here is a 2×2 button convert carousel to gridHere the options allow us to delete photos from the collection or keep only one.

On the other hand, this function can be disabled via the three-dot vertical menu where we will see the option to enable or disable the “Stack similar photos” option. And at the same distance can be sharedYou can choose “selected items only” or the entire stack of images.

Don’t you find his grouping correct? You can remove them from the stack to see them again individually in the gallery. Don’t forget these additions added in stages, so you may have to wait a few more days or weeks. At least we know it’s already in circulation.
