Google Photos for Android is rolling out a new feature designed to streamline photo editing just before sharing. This addition was initially highlighted by a tipster from Android Authority who reported it first.
The “Quick Edit” functionality enables users to enhance or crop photos quickly before sharing them. It includes an “Enhance” button, operating similarly to the existing enhancement feature found in the app’s regular editing suite. Additionally, there’s a crop button that mirrors the one typically used in the standard photo editor. If multiple photos are selected prior to tapping the share option, users will see the usual share menu rather than the new Quick Edit interface.
Google Photos has offered simple, single-click enhancement tools for some time now, with at least four distinct options available. The Enhance tool automatically examines your image and adjusts its brightness, contrast, and color. Users may also see Suggested Edits, which provide tailored suggestions like cropping or rotating, all of which can be applied effortlessly with one click.
Users can also apply various filters instantly to alter the mood and style of their images. Basic editing options such as Crop and Rotate are easily accessible with a single click and offer presets for common aspect ratios.
The source mentioned that the new Quick Edit feature is functioning on a Pixel 6 Pro running version 7.10.0 of Google Photos. Interestingly, on my Pixel 9 Pro XL with version 7.11.0, the feature hasn’t appeared, indicating it might be rolling out gradually across Android devices.
Google Photos is available on a variety of platforms. Besides Android, the app can also be accessed through the App Store for iPhone and iPad, in addition to being available online.
