The latest version of Google Photos makes it simple to determine which album or albums a photograph is from

en.bedadung.com -- The long-awaited, small, but high-quality update for Google Photos is now available for Android users. Similar to how Google Photos on the web implements this functionality, the media management app will now begin highlighting the album to which a photo or video belongs immediately within the media's metadata screen.

This occurs shortly after Google Photos launched a new Quick Edit function to expedite image editing prior to uploading.

Google Photos version 7.11 now offers the two new capabilities, with the ability to see which album an image or video belongs to being generally available. The fact that the feature is present on several accounts and devices indicates that it is a component of a server-side switch that is now being widely used.

Swiping up on a picture or video will reveal its information sheet, which highlights the album to which it belongs. By tapping the three-dot icon in the upper right corner, you may also access the same. As seen in the above image, if you're using Google Photos version 7.11 and the functionality has been rolled out to you, you should notice a new 'Albums' card directly above photo effects.

The information page reveals up to three albums (the most recent ones where the photo or video was added) if a photo appears in more than one album. A 'Show More' button emphasizes all other albums that contain that particular image. When you tap the album's name, the well-known album user interface appears, with choices to share, add new photographs, change the album's name, and more.

With this, the mobile app finally catches up to Google Photos on the web, which has long supported album highlights. For the record, the capability isn't yet available in Google Photos on iOS.

Because the Favorites folder functions more like a label or tag than an actual album, it is important to note that the new feature does not apply to it. ***
