Some of the changes include rearmaments of the Albums and Device folders, and a new option called Auto Stories, which didn\u2019t go live yet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10051 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobipicker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/google-photos-for-ios-android-web-500x298.jpg\" alt=\"google photos for android\" width=\"500\" height=\"298\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Albums page now includes a new row of photos called \u201cPhotos on device,&#8221; taking you directly to photos kept on your device. It\u2019s now easier to find local-stored photos, making them more visible on the main app screen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56985 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobipicker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Google-Photos-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"888\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second big change affected Albums screen. Instead of showing images as large cover photos, the new design now shows albums in a two column list with each album showing just one, most recently added, image.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The change will make users to scroll less while looking for a particular album, but it also introduces lots of whitespace and removes nice, wide photos featured before.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56986 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobipicker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Google-Photos-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"888\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The \u201cDevice Folders\u201d screen kept the same name in the nav drawer, but the screen was renamed to \u201cPhotos on Device,\u201d as we previously mentioned. The screen includes the new two-column arrangement, along with the cloud backup indicator in the upper right part of each folder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobipicker.com\/reverse-google-image-search-android-iphone\/\">How to Google Reverse Image Search<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Auto stories will be added soon, but the function can already be found if you\u2019re ready to do some APK tearing. The feature will probably allow you to make story-style albums yourself, instead of trusting Google to automatically create stories. You\u2019ll pick one or more photos or videos, and then Google Photos will create a story view including locations, dates, related photos, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also, it seems Google Photos will be able to share content via Nearby, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/2017\/02\/02\/google-photos-v2-8-rearranges-albums-and-device-folders-prepares-for-nearby-sharing-and-auto-stories-apk-teardown-download\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">project<\/a> by Google with a goal of easing up how we communicate with devices around us.
