Suggested Sharing

To begin with, Google has added a new Suggested Sharing feature which helps you decide what photos you should be sharing with your friends. From your most recent photographs, the app now suggests the best ones by using facial recognition methods. As a matter of fact, the Suggested Sharing in Google Photos is very much comparable with the Facebook Moments feature available in the mobile app of Facebook. The latter compiles some of your recently captured photographs and allows you to share those on your timeline with a single tap.     

Shared Libraries

Another great feature called Shared Libraries allows you to share a bunch of photographs from your Photo library altogether. You can either choose all of your photographs or create a subset of your favorite photographs and then share it with your friends.

This new feature is introduced to make sharing easier with some of your close friends and relatives. Enabling the shared library would automatically send your photos to the select contacts. You can choose a few people from your contacts with whom you’d want to share some or all of your photos. Also, it isn’t necessary that all your photos will be shared with the contacts that you’ve chosen. You can also customize the kind of photos that you want to share with these contacts. For instance, you can choose to share all the photos of a particular person with your designated contacts.   

Instant Photo Sharing With Contacts

As exciting as it sounds, the Photos app is now smart enough to identify the faces of the people from your Google contacts. It instantly compares the photos from your library with the photos of the people from your Google Contacts and allows you to share with them. For instance, let’s say you just took a few photographs of three of your friends. Minutes after that, the app will notify you with message like, “10 new photos with John, Marriah, and Jacob. Want to share with them?” That way, all the photos will be automatically sent to these contacts. Isn’t it cool? Of course it is.
