Google Photos Getting a Makeover: New ‘Hide Clutter’ Feature and Renovated Memories Tab

Google Photos is a must-have app for many users, providing free cloud storage of up to 15 gigabytes or paid options for up to 2 terabytes. This app simplifies the way users manage their images, photos, and videos by organizing them into folders. However, some users find the default organization to be visually cluttered.

To address this issue, Google is introducing a new feature called “hide clutter” in an upcoming update. This feature will automatically filter out non-essential content, displaying only images captured by the device’s camera on the main tab for a more streamlined experience. The update aims to provide a more organized environment and improve the user experience by automatically classifying and relocating content within the app. While hidden files will still be accessible in other tabs or through search, they will be removed from the main view to reduce visual noise and improve overall user experience.

In addition to this feature, Google Photos will also undergo a complete renovation of the ‘Memories’ tab, offering a more modern and attractive design that enhances user interactions with their stored photographs. These updates are accompanied by existing features like Photo Stacks, which provide users with a range of tools to effectively manage their photo galleries. With these tools at hand, users can easily store memories and share content on social media without worrying about cluttering up their digital space.
