Google Photos is a great platform if you’re looking to backup your photos, or create an album to share with your friends and family that you went on vacation with, colleagues you took that company trip with, and so on. However unlike Facebook, Google Photos lacked certain features like the ability to leave comments.The good news is that has changed. According to a recent announcement by Google, the company has revealed that they will be introducing commenting to the platform. “Starting today, people who join the album can add comments to photos and the album itself. So you can give your friend’s photo of her lunch and your mom’s photos of the cat the response it deserves, without leaving the app.”
Of course you could argue that photos can be uploaded onto platforms like Facebook for commenting features, but sometimes there are photos that you’d rather not share on social media platforms like Facebook, so Google Photos would make a great alternative. In addition to the comments feature, Google has also introduced smart suggestions.
This means that the platform is smart enough to recognize that certain photos would make a great addition to the album. “Plus, to make it easier to add your own photos to a received shared album, you’ll now see smart suggestions for the right photos to add. No more searching for photos from last weekend’s birthday party and picking out the perfect ones – now you can add your best photos from the event in one tap.” These changes are rolling out across the iOS and Android version of the app, as well as the web version.
