Google Photos<\/a>\u00a0for Android is receiving a new feature that offers users greater control over their grid view preferences. Previously, users could adjust the layout density by selecting between “Day,” “Month,” or a “Comfortable” view, and they also had the option to stack similar photos. Tapping on a stacked image tile allowed them to swipe through related photos in a carousel. With the new update, users can now further refine their experience by choosing to show or hide photos, GIFs, and videos from other apps.<\/p>\n

Google Photos Adds New Customisations to Reduce Clutter<\/h2>\n

Google Photos for Android now offers new customisation options to help users make their photo grids more clutter-free. These were initially spotted<\/a> by 9to5Google, however, Gadgets 360 was able to verify these changes. One of the new features is the ‘Show content from other apps<\/strong><\/em>‘ option, which includes two sub-options called ‘Only show backed-up content<\/strong><\/em>‘ and ‘Hide clutter from other apps<\/strong><\/em>.’<\/span><\/p>\n

The new customisation options are rolling out with Google Photos version 7.14 for Android. Once available, users will see a ‘New! Keep your Photos view free of clutter from other apps<\/strong><\/em>‘ dialogue box right above the Memories carousel. To check if the update is available, users can try force-closing the app and reopening the overflow menu.<\/p>\n

The ‘Only show backed-up content<\/strong><\/em>‘ option shows photos from other apps than the native camera option that have been backed up or are waiting to be backed up. The other option that reads ‘Hide clutter from other apps<\/strong><\/em>,’ hides screenshots, GIFs, and memes once they are backed up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Further, Google<\/a> introduced a ‘Customise by app<\/strong><\/em>‘ option that allows users to manage media from specific apps like Pinterest, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and more. For each app, users can choose between Show all<\/strong><\/em>, Hide clutter<\/strong><\/em>, or Hide all<\/strong><\/em> options, to allow them more granular control over what appears on the photo library in the Google Photos app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
