Whether you are using an Android smartphone or an iPhone, you certainly have heard or used Google Photos. If you haven’t, well, you really should. I mean, there is hardly any other photo app that is as convenient and feature-rich as Google Photos.

Key Features of Google Photos


Google Photos is known for combining the most essential features required of a smartphone gallery application in the most simplified way. There is nothing that you couldn’t do in it, thanks to the features such as: 


Backup with Unlimited Storage 


Once you setup the synchronization preference, Google Photos would automatically backup all the photos and videos you record or receive from others. Don’t worry about running out of space either, as the app offers unlimited storage for ‘High-Quality’ photo and video backup. When it says unlimited storage, it really does mean it. 


Accessible Organization


The in-app navigation is as accessible as it could get, with the user being able to zoom and pinch to scroll through a lifetime of photos organized as per the day, week, months, and years. Not to mention the automatic categorization based on people, places, pet, and so on which can also be searched in the search bar. The backed up photos and videos are also available both offline and online via Android smartphones, iPhones, and the web.
