Google Photos app gets support for foldable screens with a nifty new feature
Google Photos recently got Material Design-themed navigation drawer and now is getting a new backup status icon. This makes it easier to see if the images and videos have been backed up right from the gallery itself. It is worth noting that this feature has been there in Google Photos for iOS for a while and is now coming to Android users. What, however, gets a passing mention in the changelog of the new version but is a major update is the support for foldable phones.
“We’ve launched a new gallery view to help you see which of your photos and videos have not yet been backed up and proactively choose items to backup. Additionally, we’ve introduced several improvements to make Google Photos compatible with foldable devices,” states the ‘What’s new’ section in the app listing page.
