According to information from MacMagazine, Apple is preparing some improvements to its iCloud web photos application; more specifically for the one found on iCloud.com. The Photos web application allows users to access their iCloud photo library through a web browser, both by using Mac or Windows computers.
However, this is somewhat rudimentary in its current state ... but, as can be seen on the iCloud beta site, from now on a redesigned Photos application will be included that provides a sidebar and a thumbnail viewer similar to what already It exists in the Native Photos app for Mac. Apple is testing new features that it will include in iCloud on beta.icloud.com before releasing changes to final versions, so the new features should be available to everyone. short-term public.
The new Photos application that can be seen on the iCloud beta site adds a new toolbar at the top of the screen with the upload and download buttons, flanked by a vertical sidebar that includes a list of the different albums available in the users library. The sidebar can be configured to appear visible or hidden, with a button in the upper left corner.
When viewing a particular photo, the Photos web application allows you to display a horizontal bar with the images taken before and after the presented image. This is another interface element carried from the Mac application to the web page.
Apple, from time to time, releases changes like this to the iCloud.com suite of web applications without giving much hype to the news either. Nor is what you do there are revolutionary improvements, but the changes provide a noticeable improvement for people who use the iCloud.com offering. It is good to know that these Apple web applications have not been forgotten or abandoned.
Despite these improvements, the Photos web experience lags behind the native Photos apps for iOS and Mac in many ways.
