Google Photos is an incredible tool to store your memories in one place. Now, Google is making the app more useful with the introduction of a private messaging feature that makes it easier for users to share photos without ever having to leave the app. Instead of going through the cumbersome process of creating a shared album, Google Photos users can now share photos privately like any other messaging app.
How to Share Photos using Google Photos?
- Step 1: Open the Google Photos app
- Step 2: Open the photo you want to share
- Step 3: Tap the “Share” icon at the bottom left-hand corner
- Step 4: Choose the contact you want to share the photo with
- Step 5: Add a caption and hit “Send”
Google Photos app also lets users start a group chat by selecting the “New group” option and adding recipients. In that, users can share photos and videos each contact has shared in one place. Users can also comment on photos and chat with others in the same window. Once you receive photos in the chat, users can save the photos to Google Photos and tap “All Photos” to view them.
Google noted in its blog announcing the new feature that “this feature isn’t designed to replace the chat apps you already use, but we do hope it improves sharing memories with your friends and family in Google Photos.” The new messaging feature in Google Photos will be available to users on Android, iOS, and web over the next week. If you haven’t received the feature yet, it should be available soon.
