TL;DR
- We were able to activate a new album chip in the latest Google Photos release.
- Once enabled, the chip appears when viewing photos that you’ve added to any albums. This makes organizing your pictures a little easier.
- The change isn’t live yet, but could be released soon.
Google Photos has been around for more than a decade. If you’ve been using the service for long, it’s likely your image library has gotten a little hairy by now — juggling hundreds or thousands of images across years of albums can be a pain. We’ve recently spotted an upcoming change that might make it just a little easier.
Tinkering with version 7.49 of the Google Photos app, we managed to enable a new chip that shows up when viewing a photo that you’ve added to any albums. The chip appears toward the top of the interface when viewing applicable images outside of fullscreen.
