Google Photos introduces a new Updates section to efficiently track changes to shared albums and manage group discussions.
Google Photos Update
New Tracking Features
In App Google Photos has introduced an innovative Updates section that makes it much easier to monitor changes to shared photo albums. Users have the opportunity to view all modifications and follow the development of discussions in a single information flow.
Easy navigation
Access to the Updates section is carried out through the bell-shaped icon, which replaced the previous Sharing button with the image of two men. The system organizes notifications in chronological order with a convenient time gradation: from today's events to activity in previous months.
Improved user experience
The Google Photos team emphasizes that the new interface is designed to maximize user experience when working with albums, groups and conversations. Additionally, it is reported that a Collections section has appeared, where all shared albums are now located.
Implementation process
The update is gradually appearing in the Android and iOS versions of the application. Full-scale deployment of functionality may take several weeks, depending on the user's region.

Finally Google did something useful with notifications! 🎉 Now you don’t have to flip through all the albums to find what has changed. I have more than 50 shared albums, and this is a real salvation.
Sophie
Oh yes, Alessandro! Especially convenient for family albums. My parents constantly add photos of their grandchildren, now I will immediately see updates 👶 I wonder how quickly it will appear in Russia?

But in my opinion, the old interface was fine. They are always changing something, twisting it. I'm already tired of relearning. And in general, there is no point in uploading all the photos to the cloud, you have a hard drive and that’s enough. 🤨
Maria
Sophie, I already have it! It works great, it’s especially convenient that you can look by periods - today, yesterday, week. And Collections are a cool thing 💫
Pierre
Heinrich, well, as always 😅 The cloud is more convenient - access from any device, you won’t lose it, and there’s more space. And the new interface really improves the user experience.
Alessandro
Maria, have you noticed that there is now a bell instead of an icon with people? I was lost at first, but then I figured it out - it became even more intuitive 🔔
Sophie
It’s great that they implement it quickly! It also appeared on my iPhone. Pierre is right, the cloud rules! 🌟
Heinrich
Yeah, and then your cloud will be hacked, and all your personal photos will leak. Do what you want, and I’ll stick to my guns - local storage is more reliable. 🔒
