Google Photos is more than just a photo storage place. It also backs up your photos across multiple devices, has automatic organization features, and includes smart search. It’s similar to other gallery apps, like Samsung Gallery. However, when it comes to Samsung Gallery vs. Google Photos, Google Photos offers a more consistent experience across all your devices. Here’s a look at how Google Photos works.
How to Use Google Photos – Beginner's Guide
Google Photos is known for its search function. The app automatically tags your photos based on location, facial recognition, and the type of image, whether it’s a selfie, screenshot, or video. It then creates folders for each type of image. It also classifies animals and objects.
In our experience, Google Photos' search function was a bit hit and miss at first (mistaking people for cars, for example), but the more you use it, the smarter it gets.
Use any search term to find a specific photo, such as location, subject, or season. In our tests, this feature was perfect, returning accurate results for snapshots from a trip to Nashville.
