New
Google Photos update for iOS
Rolling out now, the latest Google Photos update for iOS (v1.6) brings new features and improved performance throughout the app.
Here’s what’s new:
Shared albums
A new, easy way to pool photos and videos with whomever you want, across
Android, iOS, and the web.
Just select photos, tap the Share icon, and select Shared Album. People you share the link with can add photos to the album and get notified when new moments are added
Privately sharing all the photos you took – and getting the ones you didn’t – has never been easier.
Free up space
Turn your 16GB phone into a space-for-everything phone.
In Settings, just tap “Free Up Space”. Device copies of safely backed up photos and videos will be removed from your device, but will still be accessible in Google Photos. You’ll also be automatically notified when you’re running low on space.
Yes, you can finally stop worrying about running out of space on your phone.
Chromecast support
Cast your photos and videos to your
TV, even if they haven't been backed up yet. And don’t worry – when you’re casting, people will only see the photos you tap on.
Improved backup
Backing up your photos and videos is now more reliable and up to 4x faster, so upload away!
