Google announces news for its Photos and Duo apps

Storage clouds are used by everyone every day. Although some lack certain services, it is true that we can have several or, if on the contrary, we like the operation of one of them: acquire more space. In the case of iCloud, Apple offers us 5GB for free but if we want to store photos, we may fall short. For that there are applications like Photos that have 15GB of storage (Drive + Gmail + Photos), an application that saves all photos in the Google cloud for later use. Google has announced the launch of new features in its Photos and Duo apps.

User connectivity: an important factor for Google

Photos is an application that, as I have mentioned, allows us to store and manage our images, thus avoiding filling up our phone's storage. However, Google Duo It is the "FaceTime" of Apple, with which we can have video calls and audio calls between users of the great search engine.

With this statement, the great search engine has offered the new functions of these two applications coming soon to your apps:

Today we are developing two new features for Android and iOS: making backups and sharing content easier with low connectivity. Your photos will now be automatically backed up in low-space preview quality, which is fast on 2G connections, and still looks great on a smartphone. And when you have a good Wi-Fi connection, your backed up photos will be replaced with high-quality versions.

That is to say, Google is helping populations that do not yet have high-speed mobile connections. Coming soon to the Photos app, these features will allow users to have a low-quality backup that will be done quickly over 2G and 3G networks. Once a Wi-Fi connection is available, as mentioned in the statement, the backup will be updated, giving the photos a higher quality.

As for the GoogleDuo, For those users who do not have a good connection to make a video call, the video call will automatically become an audio call. This solution is still a patch for those populations that cannot have extensive connections. An example would be Brazil, a major Duo asset.
