TL;DR
- Google introduced a new editing UI for Photos on Android this past summer.
- One casualty of that update was Photos losing its perspective correction tool.
- Perspective correction is now back, as well as the old look for the cropping interface.
Google giveth, and Google taketh away. As Android users, we’re free to explore all the third-party software solutions we want, but if you largely operate within the confines of Google’s ecosystem, that’s going to mean accepting that the features you have access to at any given time are there at Google’s discretion. And while normally updates tend to just make its apps better, and even more feature-rich, occasionally Google does kill off some useful functionality in the process. The good news is that changes can always be rolled back, and today we get confirmation of the return of one tool a lot of us have been missing.
