Google Photos newly updated with Chromecast support and other features
Google promised some new features for its Photos app, and today they delivered by updating the Android application.
The biggest new feature is Chromecast support for getting your photos on a television or other big screen. This seems like a long overdue feature, but it goes hand in hand with the announcement of Google’s new Chromecast devices yesterday.
Aside from casting support, the app also now has custom labels for people in your photos. You can tag certain people with a specific (private) tag that makes it easier to find pictures with that person easier in the future. It’s a step beyond the traditional tagging system that tons of photo backup options offer now.
This update also lays the groundwork for Google’s upcoming shared albums feature through Google Photos. Anyone with a smartphone and the app can add photos to these albums, which will be extremely useful for friends, families, and any group of people that typically share pictures around.
