- Google is testing more options in the updated video editor set to arrive in the Photos app.
- Now, we see more elaborate text editing features, including multiple font styles, text colors, and alignment options.
- This marks a significant upgrade over the crude text options currently available in Google Photos.
Typically, you’d find Instagram — or other Meta apps — aping apps from different publishers. But in a peculiar instance, Google may be copying something that has existed on Instagram. Google Photos may soon get a new video editor, and we’ve recently discovered evidence of an improved set of options for adding text to videos.
Google is testing the option to add elaborate text, similar to Instagram stories and Reels, to media in the Google Photos app. We discovered this change being tested in version 7.49 of the Google Photos app for Android, where Google is currently testing the ability to add text over videos with much more control than possible in the options currently available to users. These changes are likely part of the new video editor in Google Photos that is also being tested.
