Google Photos lately celebrated its 10-year anniversary, and whereas we’re grateful for all of the reminiscences it’s helped us protect alongside the best way, we had been additionally very excited to listen to about what’s coming subsequent, with guarantees of a daring new modifying expertise about to roll out. When sharing the information again in Could, Google communicated that preliminary entry would get underway for Android customers in June, with iOS assist following later. We’re soundly into July by this level, and nonetheless haven’t seen the new editor. So what offers?
Google was planning to no less than get entry to the new editor going in some unspecified time in the future in June, and even talked about “international” availability. However by the tip up the month we had been unable to uncover any studies of customers who had truly gotten entry to the new editor. Properly — formally no less than, since we had been capable of coax the app into giving us an early peek. However the query remained: Had Google’s distribution plans for the new Photos editor modified?
We reached out to Google with simply that query, and the corporate now confirms to Android Authority that almost all customers might be getting entry in August.
Based on Google, the new editor truly has been rolling out publicly, albeit to solely a really small group in the meanwhile. The corporate explains:
It is a main redesign for our editor — offering all new useful recommendations and bringing all our highly effective modifying instruments collectively in a single place — so we’re taking our time rolling it out and ensuring that it’s working properly for customers earlier than bringing it to everybody.
