You can now easily save Gmail attachments to Google Photos

Google is rolling out a new update, which adds a “Save to Photos” button for Gmail attachments. So, when you get a photo attachment in a Gmail message, you will be able to save it directly to Google Photos using this button.

Currently, you only get two options in a Gmail message. You can either store the attached photos in your device’s storage or directly add them to Google Drive. The Gmail attachments appear after the body of a message. The new “Save to Photos” button will appear next to the existing “Add to Drive” button on the attachment and while previewing the image attachment.
