Google Photos Reviews

The app is easy to use and is beneficial if you enjoy taking pictures. When you take pictures, they are stored to your device and organized into files so that you don't have to organize them later. However, you can easily remove pictures from one file and put them in another so that everything is customized the way you want. You can also back up videos. Since the content is backed up by Google, you can view and edit your images and videos from any device instead of only on your phone. Even though the content is saved to your device, you can easily remove what you don't want and rearrange the content or share it to another device so that it's not lost. You don't have to tag people or places to find your content again because of the visual search feature. An enjoyable feature of the app is that there are a lot of automatic settings, such as movies and collages. Make a movie with a few images or several so that you have a nice collaboration of images from a special event. You can also edit pictures and videos, adding sounds and details to make each piece of content your own. Advanced editing tools allow for adjusting everything from the lighting to using one of the numerous filters to change the overall appearance of the pictures. Pictures and videos can easily be shared to social media or with contacts in a private message.
