Google Photos updates its library and sharing tabs to make photos easier to find

The layout change will make it easier to find the photos and albums you are looking for in the library and sharing tabs.

The current library tab layout is now a grid or list view that you can sort through by category. The Photos sharing tab will now have sections for partner sharing, shared albums, and conversations. The changes to the sharing tab are coming to the mobile device of your choice.

Photos is getting a feature that will allow you to import your photos from locations outside the platform. Adding photos from other photo storage services, uploading photos straight from a camera, as well as digitizing physical photos and film, will be possible with this. It doesn't matter if you have run out of storage on Google Photos or not, as the company ended free unlimited storage last year.

Assuming you still have the ability to fit your collection into Google Photos, the platform is adding a shortcut at the top of your main photo grid that takes you straight to your screenshots, and excludes them from the backup process. I am glad there is a feature that acknowledges the fact that I don't hogging my storage, because the number ofScreenshots I have hogging my storage is embarrassing.
