New Delhi: Google has started to remove several editing shortcuts in Google Photos to simplify the overall editing experience for users. Removing tools like Move, Erase, and Reimagine will no longer be triggered by tapping, circling, or scribbling directly on the photo in the main editor screen.
This upgrade aims to reduce the accidental triggers caused by gesture-based controls, which could unintentionally activate advanced editing tools while making basic changes.
Google is also removing certain gesture-based shortcuts that enable users to access editing tools quickly. The users could circle, tap, or scribble directly on an image to trigger features like Move, Erase, or Reimagine. While these types of shortcuts were especially designed for quick access, they could also activate the tool unintentionally.
These features will no longer be triggered gestures, and the users will need to access them manually from the Tools menu. The idea is to make basic editing smoother without unexpected pop-ups or interruptions.
Google Photos has now evolved beyond from the simple gallery application and now offers some AI-based editing features. Not all of the users rely on these tools regularly, and some prefer a more straightforward editing process. By limiting how these tools are accessed, the application should feel less cluttered for the users who only need the basic edits.
The change could optimize memory performance on Android devices. The impact might not be significant for all of the users, but it comes at a time when many devices are dealing with tighter memory usage due to feature-heavy applications.
