Version 6.57

I would very much like to browse my Google Photos collection using this app. But it requires full access to my iPhone photos library in order to do this. This is an egregious privacy breach. The app does not function until you provide it full access to your iPhone photos — even if you have photos uploaded to Google.

This app should be apart of the built in features within the photo app when you purchase a phone. One missing feature is its inability to change the love photo to the best version of the sequence as you can usually with the normal photo library. You should be able to make one photo with multiple a bit easier also love the filters, blur of background and eraser function!!

Lots of handy features to this app, one of the best is the unlimited storage (with minimal provisos). It is fairly basic, but when it's free and offers so much storage how can you complain. I would like the ability to group albums and they could lose the automatic movies and collages, but still a great service.

Still, after all the years Google Photos has been around, no pinch to zoom for video. It’s 2022 and this must be about the only gallery app in existence that doesn’t have this absolute most basic feature. It’s borderline insane.

Version 6.54

I used to love this app. So simple and easy and stress free.

But at some point a couple years ago it just stopped working. I couldn’t tell you if it was still backing up my photos because within 4 seconds of having the app open it shuts down. Not long enough for me to see anything. I thought it might be my phone so I just let it be for a while but I just got a new phone and happily downloaded the app only for the same thing to start happening again 😭

All the information online says just delete and reinstall the app which I’ve done a dozen odd times with no luck. I have so much backed up on there, short of finding another platform to back up to, starting again and using safari to search for this when I need them, I have no idea what I can do 🫠

The app works fine. Editing photos works good but occasionally editing causes photos to go out of focus. The feature that places photos in mementoes albums is not a feature I would use but there is no choice in the app. Photos captured in the memories album are impossible to edit.

It seems that photos are hard to locate and when doubled photos are deleted they seem to take the undetected photo to the bin as well. When you attempt to restore from the bin the restored photo is almost impossible to locate among all the other photos to make sure that they have actually been restored. Photos are important to people and they would like to be certain that some photos are not deleted by mistake.

Like it very much

Google Photo can create movies and alumnus by the App automatically with geographic information (routes on map) and dates for a trip, highlight the memories. Also like the way to have “Now & Then” collage and “similar ” collage.

I have used it for many years for free storage, and created the photo books shared with my friends and family members after each of my trips. Since Google Photos started the charge in June 2021, I have stopped the sharing photos and tried to manage the storage by reducing the number of photos uploaded, so not created the photo books any more.

Love it + developer feedback

Hi. Long time user and really love google photos storage however one thing that really frustrates me is when uploading old images from and old hard drive etc thyre saved as todays date - I would love to be able to “select” as many images as I need and be able to BULK change the date rather than having to scroll through each individual image and change the date so it’s in the correct year. Has been very painful and I’m giving up for now in hopes you’ll add this simple feature into the next update! Thanks guys!

I’ve had Google photos for some 3 years now and have no complaints! It stores all your photos unless you wish to delete them ... It also suggests steps to take if you are getting a bit full, for eg archive. It picks out photos that it thinks will be improved with a few tweaks and you can do this or just ignore it. You can run it the way you want or go with suggestions it makes ... ADDITION … It’s now a few years later and having Google Photos has saved me alot of heartache! I have an IPhone which comes with Apple photos, but after a few years hundreds of my photos disappeared, not to be found anywhere, even the “cloud” which they were being saved to ( or so I thought)! I was distraught 😩 but then thought to check Google photos and there they all were!!! So happy! It’s a keeper!

Google photos has a lot of cool features, methods to edit photos but best feature is daily slide show to remind you of memories or similar shots.

Also like the suggestions for changes, suggested panoramas from shots that I took in quick succession.

Being able to look for a similar or same photo on the internet to assist in identifying old photos I have inherited from well travelled family. I am working on family genealogy and the “copy text” feature is a great short cut for extract information I would otherwise have to transcribe. The copy to text is better than a lot of OCR programs.

Great app but missing features make it frustrating to us

Really enjoy this app and all it offers but finding it frustrating that I’ve got a paid version which is supposed to unlock features like edit > tools but for some reason the features I’ve paid for don’t always appear and my app only shows the free version stuff. I look in settings and can see my subscription and that everything is as it should be but features come and go. Annoying that I’ve got to play roulette every time I open the app to see if the app is working as it should be. If the developer fixes this glitch it would otherwise be a great app!

Its a good way, great infact, to store your photos to relieve your ever expanding icloud storage problem. Whereas icloud virtually does everything for you once you have taken your shot, Google is a little more hands-on. Its not a bad thing, just most of us have become lazy and have to learn it all over. However, once you get used to moving your way around it you'll find plenty of support and a fairly common sensical approach. There is an assistant who is there to gather your photos into groups - as it sees it, and im not sure this is altogether necessary, im pretty sure most of us know who our friends & family members are - the assistant puts them all into fancy collages and albums etc. Im still fairly new and so far the only action im having a bit of trouble with is the great ability to write some info under each photo, we do forget things and it will be good to be able to read abit about what was happening etc, but so far, although ive written info under several photos, i havent yet been able to see it, well its not in the camera roll daily thingo, mabe in an album it can be viewed. Ill find out soon anyway. Altogether, better than icloud, in fact ive turned icoud drive off, it has a terrific editingtool, and then when you think you have it perfect Google asks you if you would mind if they did one last modification and boom - then it really IS perfect !! Great app.

I subscribe Google One because I rely on Google photos to backup photos across my devices. However, one thing that should be improved is a choice of whether to delete photos only on google photos or also in the device. Currently, if I delete a photo in google photo, it will also be deleted from the source device by default, while sometimes I want to keep the photo on my device for whatsapp purpose (e.g. proof of purchase) but I don’t want to collect that in my google gallery (pls google takes the opinion of your loyal customer into account 😀).

Google photos saved my iPhone! I use google drive, sheets and other g suite products to access my files on the go from anywhere especially when travelling so I applied the same logic to my photos. The best part was the size in which they are stored makes it easier to share. Google photos helps with freeing up space which saved me saving terabytes worth of photos on iCloud. I can find photos based on so many attributes it’s mind blowing.

All round love it.

Google give!

App works easy enough to navigate and use and features like collage movies etc fun take on your photos and look forward to the ‘a year ago’ or ‘5 years ago’ photo ensembles Google designs but they are quite basic. I had one that was beautifully done until there was a photo of me taken under the chin up a added to this beautifully choreographed piece of memories and ruined it! Lol

An idea?! when we sign up for Google photos in the profile be more specific about who you are in images and what to not keep in images.

I can’t afford Google storage right now due to Covid and loss of business life is tough but I have every right like you to have photos kept on my phone or I should!

so I’m stuck erasing many bad blurry out of focus blank images that I took one by one painfully slow and time I need to make money in order to buy iCloud storage?! Ironic!

So….how great if Google asked the user their preferences like a dating site on what images they delete automatically when taken. All cameras are the same so easy to set blurred or no image or too light or bad angles of portrait etc even fun if you added’ don’t ever keep a bad photo of me!’ Lol

automatically save space!!!

battery!!! and headaches.

and precious TIME!

So have to go and these my motto…..

‘think outside the screen! ‘

‘look up to see how beautiful the day can be!’

I love this app!🤩🤩🤩

During my time using this app I have used it often and it has never let me down! But like really, if I could I would give this app 6 stars! Every now and again it takes all my pics and uses the ones my mum is in or my brother and makes a video so it’s like a memory, in a video! And you can combine pics together into one pic. Also, you can make vids out of your pics too, with music and everything! So in conclusion, definitely get this app! 💜💜

I have been using Google photos for a couple of years now. Google Photos allows me to kept track if the thousands of photos I have taken in my overseas and hime travels. I really like that Google Photos automatically shares with my other devices. This gives me the opportunity to view my previous photos in a different context in mediums such as my laptop ace Desk top computers. The automated back up also ensures my iPhone is not overloaded with photos unnecessarily using space on the phone.

Essential for backing up your photos

If you take photos with your phone, then you need this app. If you want your photos to be secure, to share them easily with others, to view them across devices, or many other things then you need this app. On top of its secure online backup, ease of sharing across your devices and with friends, it also lets you search in many amazing ways - by date, location, object, person, and so many things. It's a very clever app and an essential one too.

In a time when you to pay so much for back up services! I find this very impressive.. security well what is it anyway every server is hacked in some way and how do you know if you pay for back up you will still not have you photos looked at by other so you might as well increase the worlds photo banks for all history! A few years on I’m still very happy with Google Photos, it now means I have my life’s digital photos on hand at a moments call... just scroll back through time, or wait for memories of days past to pop up.. Thanks again Google

Unbelievable

Even the free version is exceptional. They summaries key moments in your life automatically and even suggest deleting photos that are blurry or something like that (they put deleting-worthy photos in a folder and ask if you want them deleted).

When I installed it I didn’t realise that it also recovers photos I didn’t even know I had. It’s based of gmail accounts so because I’ve had a particular gmail account for so long it recognizes that and keeps track of old photos automatically. (I’m not entirely sure how it works)

If you love looking back at memories, get this!

So I don’t have mc h games bit could you add on this app that you can buy a iPad storage builder that what ever number you type in your storage on your iPad it’s self will have unlimited storage without deleting apps with this option people would be able to have a lot of storage that never gets full and allows free no full ups on the iPad storage if you make this happen tell everyone that some one who is me has saved everyone from deleting there favourite apps and photos please make this happen

Also could you add a option called erase background for the photos so you can add stuff to them but you can choose to keep the background or get rid of it

And add a option to like with the unlimited iPad storage option you can also add lots more apps and stuff but here’s the catch with this option everyone could easily get more games but hear me out an option to make photos 3d would be cool but you get to choose if you want to change them to 3d and change them back

Also another option would be nice is a 360 built in camera that you can use in real life with your iPad or what ever you use like use it in real life or on a video now that would be cool

If you can make this happen then we have nothing to lose

Great app appreciate it, would like to do more to save space, but to complicated & hard I’d lose photos & wouldn’t be able to recover them when I needed to.

Modern technology is all for the younger generations these phones are to complex for people in their 60’s & 70’s

Even the word google is a child’s word not a mature adults word, in my entire life I have probably only said that word in a sentence a couple of times when I was a teenager.

Even the stupid nickname at the end you can’t send unless you have a nickname and guess what every nickname you can think of is taken so you’ve gotta put something ridiculous... this is exactly what I mean about technology

AWESOME APP!!

Has to be my all time favourite photo app, I now have photos from all the way back to 2005 thanks to Google photos. If it had not been for the many devices I have linked to my photo account with google I would’ve have access to all of these fabulous memories and I LOVE the new features where you are sent memories from 5,6,7,8 etc. years ago today, the hi lights of recent times and the fun little extras with the montages, collages and many other groovy bits that help me to see and remember things I haven’t recalled for years.

THANKS GOOGLE!!! 😁👍🏻

Amazing

Google photos allowed me to see memories from long ago when I was a child which I did not have backup for! It is AWSOME and makes cool collages with me and my mum. I could see so many things. The picture search is amazing. When I take a photo I can search what it is. When I didn’t know a spiders name, I took a photo and then searched it and came up! Thank you for making this app, it makes it so much easier and I defiantly recommend this app to anyone!! My only regret with this app is that it keeps on sending me emails and notifications that my backup is not enough but this is still an amazing app to have.

Why?

I seem to get a little #1 on the app icon everyday, as if to say I have a notification! But when I open the app there is no notification, seems google just want you to click on their app once a day for whatever reason??? If you open the app then immediately close it, it won’t hassle you again today, but tomorrow we go through it again. I try my best to support all google products only to find fault, on the 30 or so occasions I’ve had to deal with customer support with both a bug report and a FIX for them, half the time a patch is written that night with an update available the following morning, AWESOME!!! The other half of the time I felt 100% ignored. This 50% success rate of google actually listening to your legitimate complaint makes them the leaders of many industries, as most companies won’t change their product to suit you, they will give you a walk through on how to use their product but if you’re going to complain most companies will ignore you, not at Google! If your complaint sounds legitimate and can be fixed, Google will get straight onto it. This is a FIVE star product that only lets itself down by scamming you into clicking on it once a day by way of a fake notification that doesn’t exist when you get there. The reason for one star is, if you don’t get 5 you get 1, as I don’t read reviews rating 2, 3 or four stars & assume either do many people. That’s all folks ;)

Great App

I absolutely love google photos! The automatic creations that it creates is my favourite thing about this app.

They way you can tweak all the settings to tailor it to your kind of data needs is great too. All different settings that can be changed and the choice to create more space on your device by deleting photos that have already been safely backed up is another top mark from me.

I love anything that google creates. Google is my life! It has my life stored in its cloud and I love the security google provides.

All in all, if you are not using google photos, you need to start. RIGHT NOW!

It was great until it didnt store 1 video that’s very important to me.

I was very upset it didn’t warn me that my videos weren’t backing up, so i ended up deleting my original photos in my iphone, google photos shold stop receiving videos and photos all together when it is NO LONGER backing up coz what’s the point???? I am very upset coz it let me edit a long video into a short one and i even make an album out of it beleiving it was backed up coz why can I edit if it’s NOT saved in google photos??? Is that the reason and purpose of tour App??? To back up files??? Yes i may or may have not turn on the “turn on back up” but I have a new fon and my settings must hve been new. My bottom line, i wouldve appreciated it if you tell me straight to face that the video I EDITED in your google photos ate not saved so you better save it somewhere..NO IM NOT UPGRADING IN YOUR UNTRSTWORTHY F#%^*APP!!!

My new favourite app

My new favourite app. Really practical and convenient way to free up your iPhone storage and share pics with your loved ones.

I have a photo album of my son that I share with his grandparents who live 3 hours away. They love how it keeps them up to date with what our family is doing. Only they can see the photos and they can add their own photos too. Google pics automatically organisers your photos into albums. You can also manually set it up so it recognisers people and places. We’ve set ours up to recognise when a picture has our dogs in it so it automatically loads into the dog album. I also love the assistance option that automatically fixes lighting in photos and creates videos and collages of your pics. It also reminders you each day of memories using pics from years prior. I love this app. Genuinely am telling others to use it.

Good App but could be Great!

Excellent points raised by Bz3rkr, wholeheartedly agree with every single 1.

Other than that excellent app especially for those who only use it as a freebie. I pay for 200GB and share it between my whole family of 5 (including 4 iPads, 2 iPods, 3 iPhones, 1 computer) so it definitely comes in handy!

Update Apr 2020: Had to upgrade our 200GB storage to next tier which is 2TB, which just shows, we use this A LOT (especially now that the kids are getting older too, with one in second year high school, and another one will be next year)!! Still very happy customers 😃😃😃

Great but some improvement could make it better

1. Add a way to select and discard a face recognised by google from inside the photos. I have many recognised faces that are just random people on the background of my photos in busy places like Disney land. I have no way to discard the recommended face at the moment.

2. I wish I could see the size and resolution of photos and videos after upload to compare with the original if I wanted too.

3. Improve the upload feature so that it cumulatively adds data of a big file into the same image in the cloud rather than one big file as a whole. I have files up to 15GB and it takes a long time to reach 80% uploading and if computer shuts down or disconnect from the internet then it has to start all over again.

Can’t export or delete photos from google photos without deleting it on your phone photo library.

I used to think like everyone how convenient this app was to take space out from my phone. But now it seems like when I delete photos from google photos it also deletes the photo straight on my phone library as well. It also uses up my Drive space which was why I had to delete them.. but it also automatically deletes photos on my phone when I do so?? I also can’t seem to export the photos from google to my phone without sharing to someone? It’s so not user friendly and it shows that Google wants to take control of your photos!? Which is also really frustrating about how it connects to your phone and I can’t seem to find a way to disconnect google photos from my phone entirely. Not just un-sync it. Entirely. It’s impossible. They still have the control to keep your photos. This app honestly does not deserve a 4.7 stars rating.

This is just the best ever photo storing device you take the picture with your phone and when you hit wifi it loads it straight onto google photos and your pictures are safe ‘ you can also drop them in off your pc after you have down loaded your Camera ‘ I down load my camera to my iPad and then off they go to google photos ‘ I do keep. Second copy of my valuable pictures on a hard drive just in case my account gets hacked

Most powerful

Google Photos is an extraordinarily powerful suite of photographic applications. Several years ago when facial recognition was released, it was an object of admiration and wonder. Now, even though it has become so familiar, the range of recognition of people, animals, objects and places has become ever larger and more powerful, almost unbelievably so. In combination with some other apps, Lens, Scan and Snapseed for example, it provides an amazing array of uses for the camera which go far beyond the traditional portraiture and landscape subjects. Photos is a very powerful document manager, aide memoire, and information miner to give just a few uses. Photographic technique has become no less important, but the sheer volume of good to superb output is a great inducement to unlock all the capabilities that the Photos family offer.

Great App, can be made much better

Great App but additional features would make this better than Apple.

For example allow user to select which photo and videos (individually, or multiple selection) can be downsized and backed up to “high quality” so it doesn’t take up your google one storage plan. Provide a better memories feature that uses screen sizes better. Provide a better full screen interface. All photos are clustered to the left, it would be nice if albums, favourites are displayed better, all grouped without gaps, different view options.

Improve the slideshow feature. Add widget to have photo of the day.

Amazing

This app is way better than the stock iOS photos app. However. We NEED to be able to crop videos. With the addition of screen recording in iOS 12 I believe it is, we still have no way to crop videos aside from getting a third party application. In iOS 13, the stock photos app allows people to crop their videos, but lots of people who have an iPhone 6/6 plus and below, we can't get that and we kind of depend on this app. I love this app and prefer it over apple's photos app, so please add a feature where you can crop videos

Really really good, and would recommend

The app is really really conventional and helpful. When I go on hikes I feel much safer to take my phone and risk it breaking knowing that my photos are safe. I love the extras, like the animations. So cute! One thing that I think would help the app, is if founders were transferred onto the app. For example, with my phone it has the ability to recognise faces and put them into their own folders of other photos of themselves. It would be nice to keep my stuff organised when I transfer photos onto the app. All in all, brilliant app!!!

Grouping request

–

brunstar111

–

2019-09-15

This app is great. Can I please request that sometimes the grouping does not work correctly. When a new person is created and they do not come up in the search they are added twice. Can you please add a merge function to add the two people if the same name is created twice.

Can we also have in the new feature section for rotating that when a similar face is shown it only learns when you click on the persons profile to group the same person. Can we have this same person suggestion appear in the new section so that the click through can be carried out without having to click on each person.

Thank you

Better than iPhone Photos app.

This is the best photo app I’ve ever used, you get unlimited free online backup (the reduced file size barely changes the photos appearance), it also beats all other apps in the following;

- Registers faces better than any other app, listing that persons face in a folder.

- syncs up to the google cloud, so you can access it anywhere considering you use the correct account.

- Has a more streamlined interface over Apple photos.

- Photos automatically get backed up every time you open the google photos app.

As of current build :

Brilliant in every single way but.....First of all the good. The initial set up and transfer of all my main photos and videos from IPhone to Google photos is flawless and fast. As a tip use wifi if your on a low budget data plan. In one sense the Google photos app works effortlessly and prompts a user to clean up and delete photos from your iOS device as it happens. As a result I've turned off iCloud for photos completely. In addition ive freed up an absolute ton of space on my iPhone 👍🏼 The bug I've got with Google photos is by today's standards loading a video to watch using Google photos is to slow. These days things are instant especially the iOS photos app platform. 20 seconds or at times up to a minute can seem like a lifetime especially if the person nexto you starts asking why is your Google photos app taking so long to load a video clip 😳

Best in class, but still not good enough

This is the best photo management app, but it’s still missing some essential features.

There is no “private” folder or image management, so screensavers can show photos you don’t want your family to see. Ouch. A passworded or locked option would be nice.

Photo management for families is fiddily and should be an easy option for families already connected in google.

There is no duplicate search function.

The time/date management only changes the order of sorting, not the actual file (that backs up to the computer). It’s terrible if you have lots of scanned pics like me as it uses “scanned date”.

The photo backup to computer is ok, but it needs to add some sort of folder structure. I have thousands of photos, and google just dumps them all into one folder which is slow if you have to wait for it to reorder or sort the folder. It would be useful if the computer backup was put into monthly or even yearly folders.

And the biggest issue, terrible support. It’s either user forums, or some google chat saying “that feature isn’t available yet”

Those as some gripes about an otherwise great program.

I LOVE THIS APP!!

Store all you photos, it’s sorts them for very quick easy viewing anytime, the assistant makes animations from bursts, panoramas, Face Recognition and sorting, shows memories etc without you asking it to and you can save if you like them, it’s all cloud based and very reasonable if you want store best quality. You can search by theme, date, person and you can even share specific photos with friends if you like without having to use up data by sending. Great thing is at any time I can view my memories from way back so they are not buried and forgotten in the millions of photos i have - and my whole family can view, access and upload their photos to it too. Awesome Application I love it!!

Awesome app! It has saved so much storage on my devices! When I saw the advertisements I was sceptical 🤨 I thought it was too good to be true, but when I downloaded this app I was not disappointed! 😆 I also love 💖 the fact that you can make movies and collages with your photos! (I love the music for the meow movie 🍿😻😹) The only negatives I can possibly think of is that asides from text message, whenever you want to import an image using apps such as Clips and iMovie, you have to go into this app and save it to your camera roll. Also videos can take a while to load sometimes. These are some minor inconveniences but asides from that this app is awesome 😎📸 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Strongly recommended

This app was recommended to me when I was out of options of storing my photos off my iPod, about to go on holiday and was completely out of storage... though the photos take a decent amount of time to be backed up when you have large amounts, it is totally worth it. Not only do I now have all my photos safely stored away but I am also able to delete them from my device knowing that I can access them and expect them all to be there. My only recommendation to the app designer or software editor, is that you make all your photos accessible offline, this already may be done, though my iPod is sometimes a little tricky to deal with and only allowed me to see my recently viewed pics. Overall an amazing app!

Google photos is a good app to store photos

Google photos is amazing for storing all my photos in one place and know that if my phone breaks and I don’t have a back up, I still have my photos of me and friends that can not be replaced. I find that google photos is fast and easy to access but one click of a bottom and you can see the photos that you have saved. Don’t let google photos run on you mobile data unless you have unlimited because it will use a lot of data to keep syncing your photos. I give the app 5/5 stars.

Lock?

I love this app, i normal don't do reviews but its amazing. It's cleared 90gb of photos on my photo/ipads and other devices. i recommend this for cleaning your device and clearing storage. even per say 2gb, a little goes a long way and i recommended getting this if you haven't. Free and useful.

Locks.

I reckon there should be a option to lock the full google apps or accounts. It would be cool and add more security to it as i lend my devices to people to use sometimes and i have important documents i need to keep safe. once i added my photo of my draft living resume and the photo got permantley deleted.

So Easy!

I found out about Google photos when I was sent a link to a shared family history album. I was so impressed that I read up on it and started using for myself. I am not that tech savvy & if something gets too hard then I usually opt out and stop using. Not so with Google photos as it is so easy to use and it is a great way to manage your photos and back them up. It’s also a great way to share photos. In the case of the family history album that I mentioned earlier, the album contained about 300 old photos that were found under a bed. By sharing the album, each person could go into the album and add names and comments against the photos. Many of the subjects in the photos have since been identified.

Great features but some failings

The assistant is a great idea and provides interesting stylised photos. The backup solution from my phone is great and better than iCloud backup. My only issue is the consistency and sync across apple photos and Google photos. When I edit or delete live photos in the native app, Google photos doesn't retroactively update which photos to sync or delete. This means I have to do manual cleanup in Google photos. I need to edit live photos in the native app because Google photos doesn't provide all the editing features that the native version does. Also, when I try to view live motion in the Google app there is always a delay and it feels clumsy.

Fix the clumsy Ux and the double cleanup/sync work and you'll have 5 stars!

I love google photos. Was debating paying for cloud storage (I have all apple products) I really loved how apple formatted stuff (since I'm pretty basic with my understanding of all things tech) but my brother persuaded me to try google photos. The only downside is you need a really great wifi or internet connection to be able to upload your whole photo library. I've only managed to do that with my phone but the MAC photos kept crashing because of the bad wifi. (Bearing in mind I was in a third world country when I tried and tried to upload these) I'm back home in Australia and have yet to try uploading my whole photo library onto this app but fingers crossed it works.

It’s ok for free!

Free high quality unlimited storage! It is feature rich and excellent with searching features.

I took one star off, because I hope one day google creates a stand alone photo app for my computer, rather than just an uploader for computer. And another star off because the use of my uploads in googles policy is not as wholesome for my liking (they explicitly explain that google scans your photos and combines it with other services likely to advertise to you).

Videos take ages to buffer or play once uploaded. And uploading lots of stuff takes ages too, and doesn’t seem to remain uploading in the background if you leave the app.

But for a cost free overall alternative, how can you not like the service, with apps for iPhone and iPad and is free.

Fantastic App, love it !!!

This is such a great app and a beautiful way to capture, sort, view , save and share our memories. It is incredibly easy to use & find photos from any date. The app recognises peoples faces and groups them automatically once you have named that person, it’s then easy to search photos of that person from any date. The app also automatically creates albums, videos and collages that you can choose to save or not. I have enjoyed looking up all our old photos from 10 years ago! It’s great that it has unlimited space. Great app overall !!!

Works well

My photos have come to life with automatic facial recognition grouping photos of the same person and very easy to creat albums of particular events and destinations to share with others. It makes it easy to share photos with others too! Would be great when you are viewing all your photos if there was some icon overlay on the photo so you can see that it is in an album. There is no way of visually knowing if photos are already in an album when you are trying to sort them or know where you were up to in putting in an album.

Total Game Changer!

Google photos obliterates iCloud! (and that’s coming from a self-confessed Apple fanboy)

It may seem nothing, but the ability to delete videos and photos from your device after uploading them to unlimited storage in the cloud is huge! Apple icloud won't let you do that, and so forces you to buy devices with more storage again and again! Apple's setup is quite sneaky actually and outdated!

Google Photos has two storage settings: "High quality" and "Original quality".

“High quality” setting allows for unlimited photo and video storage for photos up to 16 megapixels and videos up to 1080p resolution.

“Original quality” setting gives you 15 GB free and then you pay from there.

However 16 megapixels and 1080p HD video is pretty dam good - And it’s free and unlimited so Im stoked with that setting!

Thanks so much Google for changing the game! Our family can now probably keep our phones and ipads for several years more!

Almost perfect

I love this app, its easy to use and frees up valuable space on my iPhone. It’s amazing that we are given basically unlimited storage space, i was able to give up paying AU$10 a month for other cloud storage. My only complaint is how incredibly SLOW it is to upload your photo library initially. I had a little over 1000 pics on my phone and it’s been uploading almost constantly (I work from home so I can leave the app running day and night) and it’s been 4 days of uploading! I guess we can’t expect lightning fast speeds from a free program and once the initial upload is completed it should be quick and easy to keep on top of thereafter.

I do have one request, I don’t like the idea of all my precious memories being in only ONE location. Imagine someone gets my password and just to be a jerk they delete all my pics! Could happen! So I bought a little 2TB external drive to make sure I have them stored somewhere else, it would be great if there was some way to easily copy the contents of my google photos account to the drive.

I've been searching for a way to save my videos and photos without losing access to them on my phone, and this has been the most reliable and easy to use backup system ever! I can confidently delete everything once it's saved on google photos, and continue capturing memories everywhere I go. It's so easy to retrieve all of them at any time, and it doesn't cost me a thing. Way better than iCloud which would hold everything but not give me access to my own photos when I wanted to backup onto my pc. Google is always my most preferred option for everything.
