Google Photos is new again with brand new features and less Google+

Google has always taken photos seriously. For a long time they’ve offered one of the best photo editing and management experiences available, and Google+ remains to be the best social network for photos. Today they’ve taken a fresh approach to photos again.The new Google Photos app looks a lot like the old Photos app that came with Google+ (same icon and everything). The big difference is that this is a standalone app. It’s no longer tied to Google+, and you can backup your photos to Google Drive. It’s a single place for all your photos, videos, and memories.

The big difference is that this is a standalone app. It’s no longer tied to Google+, and you can backup your photos to Google Drive. It’s a single place for all your photos, videos, and memories. They really mean all your photos and videos. Google is including unlimited storage for photos up to 16MP and videos up to 1080p for free. FOR FREE.

The new Photos app has a bunch of other new features as well. You can search through your photos with keywords of things that show up in the photo. Your photos are automatically organized into People, Places, and Things. And it’s easy to share full res images and videos with a link. The new Google Photos app is everything we’ve been asking for. It will be available later today.
