Google Photos for Android – now with Chromecast support, people labeling, and more

We’re excited to announce the latest version of our Android app (v1.6), which is rolling out now. Here’s what’s new:

• Chromecast support: Cast your photos and videos to your TV, even if they haven’t been backed up yet. Plus, pick and choose what shows up on your TV while you’re browsing on your phone.

• More people features (US only): In Search, you can now label and merge people groupings. Once labeled, easily search for people, or combine people, place, and thing search terms for even more precise results, such as “Juliana at beach in Hawaii”.

• Animations can now be shared directly to WhatsApp (and stay animated)

• Adjust the speed of sloooooow mooooooooootion videos shot with the new Google Camera app on Nexus 5X & 6P

• Faster app startup, bug fixes, and other dazzling performance improvements

These updates are rolling out now in the Google Play Store: https://goo.gl/55OnIr

Samsung ALPHA

Leave a comment

My SO had to “pull the plug” on her Samsung Galaxy S4 and had already decided on the #ALPHA. I really don’t know why Samsung wants us to yell ALPHA.. but anyway..

As usual I don’t mind to set up the new one – transfer data, set up all those accounts and so on.

So how the first impression after 1hr + with tinkering?

Well, nice hardware, nothing out of the ordinary, lets say OK+… 32GB storage is a plus. Metal framing is nice, and really feels right.

Sadly this little encounter also was a reminder of why I can’t/don’t buy #Samsung anymore.

Even if you could remove or disable surprisingly many of those.. useless bloatware, lets call them add-ons – Samsungs #touchwiz inconsistencies really makes me want to throw things. Yeah you could use another launcher, but they also put stuff elsewhere, even in the notification area there is stuff that can’t be removed without rooting the device – sigh…, and that is not ok.

-now.. where’s my nexus? 🙂
