Google’s cloud-based app, Photos, has received a major design overhaul. The first change you’ll realize in the app is the absence of the Hamburger menu which was located at the top section.
The search tab has also been moved to the bottom menu, replaced by a simple “Google Photos” header. The memories section which looks more like Instagram stories has still been retained at the top of the app followed by your most recent images. The recently introduced account picker has, however, been retained at the top.
At the bottom of the app now sit five different tabs; Photos, Search, For you, Sharing, and Library, in that order. Despite the relocation of the search tab, a change has also been introduced inside.
You will now be presented with a more visually impressive collage with category suggestions on what you might want to search for. But in case you want to input custom search queries, Google Photos has a search bar as well alongside collage categories like People & Pets, Places, and etc.
The last new change is the Library tab, which was formerly known as Albums. Google has relocated most of the features previously available on the Hamburger menu to the Library tab, including device folders, the archive, bin, and some utilities like the Free up space tool.
The update is a server-side one which means you don’t have to do anything in order to get the redesigned app. However, ensuring that you have the latest version of Google Photos installed is a recommendable practice.
