The new photo feature in this update has the ability to auto backup, auto highlight, auto enhance and “auto awesome” pictures. Backup saves photos as they are taken safe and securely, highlights presents a collection of top shots from every set of photos added, enhance automatically makes subtle improvements to the pictures and “awesome” lets users create panoramas and animations out of existing pictures in the library. Snapseed filters have been added as well.
