About this app

Google Photos is the home for all your photos and videos, automatically organized and easy to share.

- “The best photo product on Earth” – The Verge
- “Google Photos is your new essential picture app” – Wired

The official Google Photos app is made for the way you take photos today and includes essential features like shared albums, automatic creations and an advanced editing suite. Additionally every Google Account comes with 15 GB of storage and you can choose to automatically back up all your photos and videos in High quality or Original quality. You can then access them from any connected device and on photos.google.com.

With the official app, you get:

15 GB OF STORAGE: Back up 15 GB of photos and videos and access them from any device and photos.google.com—your photos are safe, secure, and private to you. All photos and videos you back up in high quality before June 1, 2021 will not count toward your Google Account storage.

FREE UP SPACE: Never worry about running out of space on your phone again. Photos that are safely backed up can be removed from your device's storage in just a tap.

NO ADS: Google Photos doesn't sell your photos, videos, or personal information to anyone and we don't use your photos and videos for advertising.

FAST AND POWERFUL SEARCH: Your photos are now searchable by the people, places and things in them — no tagging required.

GOOGLE LENS: Search the hard-to-describe and get stuff done, right from a photo. Copy and translate text, identify plants and animals, add events to your calendar, find products online, and more.

ADVANCED EDITING SUITE: Transform photos with a tap. Use intuitive and powerful photo editing tools to apply content-aware filters, adjust lighting, and more.

AUTOMATIC CREATIONS: Bring photos to life with automatically created movies, collages, animations, panoramas, and more from your photos. Or easily create them yourself.

SHARING SUGGESTIONS: With smart sharing suggestions, giving your friends the photos you took of them is painless. And they can add their photos, too, so you’ll finally get the photos you’re actually in.

LIVE ALBUMS: Select the people and pets you want to see and Google Photos will automatically add photos of them as you take them, no manual updates needed.*

PHOTO BOOKS: Create a photo book in just minutes from your phone or computer. You can also see suggested photo books based on your best shots from a trip or period of time.*

SEND PHOTOS IN SECONDS: Instantly share photos with any contact, email, or phone number.

SHARED LIBRARIES: Grant a trusted person access to all of your photos.

You can also upgrade storage for your Google Account, used for Original Quality photos and videos by subscribing to Google One. Subscriptions start at $1.99/month for 100 GB in the US. Pricing and availability can vary by region.

Why was the annual view removed?? Photo back up is pretty good. Photo aharing has been improved to be a little easier to understand. Needs biometrics API support for archived and deleted pictures (similar to secure folder). Video playback is buggy. Also, slow motion editing and sharing both suck. If I trim or share a video I lose what I selected as slo-mo. Slo-mo playback during editing and review is jittery and unpredictable.

Great photo app but... I hate that virtually every edit requires you to "save copy" now. I almost never want to do that and then have to delete the original. Ever when doing something as basic as rotating a photo it makes you now save a copy. It really increases the workload of editing photos when you want to make a minor change and then have to save a copy, come back out, find the original, delete the original, navigate to the next photo and do it all again. Please let me just save

I am downgrading my 5-star review. This new version with AI search is awful. I used to be able to type something in and get very relevant results. Now, very little is relevant.For example I have taken photos of floor plans and used to type in floor plans and get all of them. Now, it shows me 7 or 8 then I get hundreds of others:the inside of empty apartments, a spa, a ping pong table and my wife posing. C'mon it's a joke. The AI should be rolled back. Can I revert to a prev version of the app?

Hi Les. We’ve heard your feedback and have updated Search. Please update the app to the latest version. If you’re still having issues, please send in-app feedback adding “#search”: https://goo.gle/4ewu28p.

What's new

We are introducing a new storage management tool to help you easily manage the photos that count toward your storage quota. This tool will surface photos or videos you might want to delete — like blurry photos, screenshots and large videos.
