Google Photos Introduces “Updates” Page for Better Shared Album Notifications

Introduction

Google Photos is enhancing its interface with a new Updates section, designed to improve tracking for shared albums and conversations. Replacing the old Sharing section, this new feature is accessible via a bell icon, offering a streamlined way to see updates and activity chronologically.

The New Updates Section

With Updates, Google Photos users can quickly check recent activities like album changes and conversations. This section lists notifications by time periods—like today, this week, and beyond—making it easy to track all activities. Google aims to simplify viewing of group updates and conversations with this new structure.

Moving Shared Albums to Collections

The Updates change also affects where users access shared albums, now located in the Collections section. This shift aligns with Google’s effort to make albums and conversations more accessible and organized.

Availability and Rollout

The Updates section is rolling out gradually on both Android and iOS apps. For users who don’t see it yet, Google Photos recommends checking back over the next few weeks as the update becomes more widely available.

Conclusion

This new Updates feature is part of Google Photos’ ongoing improvements, offering a user-friendly way to track shared content. Follow Kushal Bharat Tech News for more on the latest Google Photos updates and tech features!
