New Delhi, January 27: Google has started adding a new way to share photos and videos in Gmail by integrating Google Photos picker directly into the application. This latest update enables users to attach media from their Google Photos library without switching between applications or going through extra sign-in steps. Users can also select backed-up photos and videos from the albums, collections, or shared albums on their Google Photos and send them via email. This latest picker works automatically with the Google account which is already signed in to Gmail. This means users do not need to grant additional permissions or authenticate again to access their photos.
Google has also stated that the features are especially designed to simplify sharing while maintaining control over what content is shared, since the users only select specific photos or videos instead of giving full library access. The Photos picker comes with a couple of helpful options. One is a built-in search bar that enables users to find images or videos quickly. The search can show recent searches and also match the keywords with the album names, making it easier for users to locate older content.
Additionally, it has multi-selection, which lets users choose multiple photos and videos at once instead of attaching them one by one. The Photos picker is not limited to Gmail; users can also use the same picker to share photos and videos with other applications on Android and iOS. This approach enables the third-party applications to access only the selected items, rather than the entire Google Photos library, which helps to improve privacy and control.
