Google Photos rolls out customizable redesign of your ‘Collections’ tab
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Google Photos for Android has introduced a major redesign of its Collections tab, enabling users to customize which cards appear. The new layout features a “Pinned” section where users can select or remove default cards such as Favorites, Screenshots, and Trash. Additional carousels for On this device, Albums, People & pets, Wardrobe, Places, and Documents can be reordered or hidden. A “View all” option leads to a full grid or list view, and a “Reorder” button finalizes changes. The update is rolling out with version 7.97 and can be accessed by restarting the app.
💡 Why It Matters
- · The customization gives users tighter control over their photo organization, reducing clutter and improving quick access to frequently used collections.
