- Google is testing a “More like this” feature to search similar-looking images.
- The results display identical images in a grid, allowing you to easily sort or delete pictures.
- While results aren’t very accurate currently, we can expect them to mature as the feature nears its release.
For most Android users, Google Photos is a great way to store and share photos across multiple devices. However, it also becomes the default dumping ground for unnecessary or unpicturesque, yet still useful, images, which can compound if you tend to keep automatic backups turned on. Finding those images can be challenging, especially if you don’t own a Pixel, which makes the process easier with the Pixel Screenshots app. Thankfully, that may be alleviated to some degree with an upcoming feature update.
Google is testing a new sorting feature in the Photos app that will let you discover identical images. In version 7.47.0.810631069 of Google Photos, we found some under-the-hood cues that point to a feature called “More like this.” We were also able to toggle it on by tinkering with the app, although it has yet to go live.
