It is available on Android , iOS , and has a web version. Gallery apps are exclusive to Android devices. While you can download third-party gallery apps on other Android devices, these apps seldom provide a backup option. The gallery apps from phone manufacturers are limited to their own handsets only. As mentioned above, Google Photos is also an image hosting and sync service. The thing that makes Google Photos unique is that it offers unlimited backup. Even though some native gallery apps such as Mi and Samsung offer cloud backup, the storage space is limited.
Some third-party gallery apps such as QuickPic also provide limited cloud storage facility. The unlimited storage, in case of Google Photos, has caveats too. For instance, photos and videos are limited to 16MP and p respectively. If you want to upload them in original quality, then the storage space they occupy will be counted against the overall Google account storage. Since Google Photos is available on multiple platforms, you get the ease of viewing the same pictures everywhere.
If you make a change to a file on any device, it will be reflected across all the shared devices. I feel Google Photos can do much better with image organization. It lacks sorting, albums covers, pin, and a few other functions that a person might expect in a gallery app while viewing local photos. Gallery apps, on the contrary, are designed for device folders.
They provide a perfect interface for viewing and managing files. For instance, take the case of Google Photos and Simple Gallery app. When you launch Simple Gallery, it directly shows you the albums. You can customize the interface and organize the files in many ways. You feel satisfied when using such an app. But when it comes to Google Photos, the first screen usually shows the camera pictures. Viewing device folders other albums is a two-step process, and when you reach there, the aura is dull.
Google Photos has the edge over others when it comes to search. Machine learning in collaboration with artificial intelligence makes the job of finding photos on Google Photos a piece of cake.
And the best part, the algorithms use facial recognition and other methods for identifying the contents of a photo to add relevant metatags. You can search for photos by typing more natural or descriptive terms.
For instance, if you are looking for your cat pictures, you can type in — cat or cat pics. Similarly, Google Photos also recognizes people and places in images. Further, you can use Google Assistant commands to find your pictures as well. Without using any third-party app, you can share images and videos with other Google Photos users.
They will also be able to add their photos to the shared album. To share files outside Google Photos, you can use the link generated by it. Anyone with the link can then access the shared album.
Furthermore, you can also share your entire library with someone special. You can define the conditions as to which files you want to share. The usual gallery apps do not provide such features. One may get a contrary idea about Google Photos that the files will be available publicly as it uploads your images and videos to the cloud. Anything that you upload on Google Photos is private unless you share it with the public manually.
However, since we are uploading files to Google servers, some people might be worried about their privacy. For other gallery apps, the data is stored on your device only. The same happens for the folders that are not backed up on Google Photos — they are stored on your phones. It depends. Pricing and availability can vary by region. Storage subscriptions purchased in-app will be charged to your iTunes Account, and automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
Subscriptions and auto-renewal may be managed by going to iTunes Account Settings after purchase.

Google Photos doesn't run GPS in the background unless you turn on optional features. Thanks for using Google Photos. This release includes bug fixes and performance improvements.
We fixed user-reported issues and added new features to provide a better sharing experience. I am blown away by the features of this app. Google Photos can tell one baby from another, even correctly identify a baby as they grow up.
This is EPIC. I can take a picture of a recipe and automatically turn it into a text document. Just blows my mind. That said, the two apps work well together. Apple Photos allows me to edit photos in ways I cannot through Google. Google Photos allows me to create projects and utilize the amazing search function.
This app is great! Im not good with keeping phones, i have 5 kids and we are unfortunately very rough one devices. This app does everything for you! Easy to use, does everything for you! Saves every pic you take and can even sync up with your other devices. Provides an unexpected, beautiful walk down memory lane. Sometimes they even include subject-matter-appropriate background music and include dates, times, places, and titles describing the theme of the slideshow or collage of photos which range anywhere from deeply personal and heartfelt renderings to silly, awesome, one-of-a-kind gifs you can save and use later!
You can even easily purchase one -or all! So, I hope this honest, personal opinion will serve as a good enough review for those of you who have yet to partake in the effortlessness that is Google Photos.
