TL;DR

  • Google is testing a “Playback speed” option in Google Photos, offering speed options from 0.25x to 2x.
  • Users may also gain the ability to hide date labels for a cleaner, uninterrupted grid-like layout of their photos.
  • These features are currently not available to users.

Google Photos has plenty of great features that make it hard to quit the service, but there’s still undeniably scope for improvement and new features. We recently spotted Google working on the ability to set timings for Photos’ backup feature, but that’s not all the company is working on. We’ve now spotted Google working on the ability to adjust video playback speed, and also to show a more immersive Photos grid.
