Yesterday the developer conference was held in which the guys from Mountain View officially presented the next version of Android, Android 8. But like Apple, it took advantage of the opening of the developer conferences to present the next functions that will reach the rest of the applications and services that the company offers completely free of charge. Google Photos has become, over time, one of the best solutions to always have a backup copy of all our photos and videos at hand, a copy that allows us to erase the content of our device to gain extra space, ideal for 16GB devices. In a few days this service will receive three new functions, functions highly desired by many users.
Main news of Google Photos
Google has only announced the next news that will come from the hand of Google Photos, but at the moment we do not know when they will be available, but everything indicates that it will be next week when both iOS and Android users will be able to enjoy these news.
Suggested Sharing
Google has put artificial intelligence to work to offer new functions such as the possibility of suggesting which images we can share. According to Google, we do not share enough photos, especially the most spectacular ones, but we like to keep them safely on our film. Thanks to Suggested Sharing Google will inform us which are the most spectacular captures, captures that we can share with our friends, family or upload them directly to a social network.
This feature uses artificial intelligence to identify faces and share them with those in photos, an ideal function for when we go on a group trip and when we return we want to start sharing the photographs that we have taken in which we appear.
Shared Libraries
As the name suggests, Shared Libraries allows us create photo galleries to which we can invite different users so that they can hang their photographs, ideal, like the previous function, for when we go on a group trip, celebrate a birthday, a wedding ... All the images that are added to this gallery can be added directly to our album, but previously we must ask permission from the person who has shared them.
Photo Books
Although the classic photo albums have been forgotten for some time, there are still companies that allow us to easily create physical photo albums to enjoy our memories quickly without having to search on the smartphone or computer. Photo Books is the new Google service that will allow us Get a hard and bound copy of our favorite photos starting at $ 9,99. To create it we just have to select the albums that we want to convert to physical format or select the images in question.
Artificial intelligence will help us select the best captures, preventing us from adding blurred or duplicate images. At the moment this new role will be limited to the United States although Google ensures that soon it will also be available in more countries. Once we create the album, Google will take about two weeks to send us the ready-made album.
Smart Edition
Google has also put artificial intelligence to work to help us edit our photos. In this way it will help us reduce grain in photos to blur the background of the photographs ... all this automatically, without having to do practically anything.
Google Lens
With Google Lens, your smartphone camera won't just see what you see, but will also understand what you see to help you take action. #io17 pic.twitter.com/viOmWFjqk1

Although it is part of Google Assistant, Google Lens will also be available through Google Photos. Google Lens allows us to identify objects in the photographs we take, just as the Samsung Bixby assistant can currently do. Thanks to Google Lens we can quickly identify buildings and monuments to obtain additional information about them. Taking a snapshot of a restaurant, we can quickly find out the hours, contact details, available reservations ...
