Google is continually refining the mix with additions like new editing tools and refinements to the Assistant. It'll also recognize people and group them together, making it easy to find photos of a particular family member or friend. There's even a powerful "visual search" feature that works even on untagged, unlabeled photos simply search for "cat" or "food" or "beach" or any other term and it'll serve up your relevant shots with uncanny accuracy.

The app can be set to automatically back up and sync your photos so that your snaps are always safe, and it displays it all by date.Ī smart Assistant feature can help you set up albums, collages, grouped photo stories and animated photos. Google Photos boasts unlimited cloud storage space - although it's no longer free past a certain limit - and cross-device syncing for your photos (with minimal compression), as well as the option to store original quality photos in your Drive space. Google Photos is the stock Android photo manager (although it's also available on iOS) and it deserves mention for a ton of great features.
