- Google Photos v7.66 includes code that enables manual photo stacking on Android, a feature previously exclusive to iOS.
- We also managed to enable immersive UI featuring a floating navigation bar and a gradient status bar.
- Further, we enabled Google’s “Expressive UI” redesign to more parts of the Backup sub-menu.
Google Photos is one of the best apps you can install on your Android phone. Ironically, the iOS version of Google Photos has newer features like the floating navigation bar that haven’t yet made their way to the Android app, even though they were shown off as part of Android’s new Expressive UI redesign. Google is starting to put its weight behind the Android version of the Photos app as it finally prepares to catch up, as per various code spotted in the latest Google Photos v7.66 app update.
Manual Photo Stacks could be coming soon to Android
Back in late 2023, Google Photos introduced “Photo Stacks,” automatically clubbing and stacking multiple similar photos taken around the same time. This was a great addition that made your photo library look cleaner, drastically reducing clutter without affecting your photo collection.
