A birthday, a vacation, or just a casual get-together with friends... Everyone takes photos, then the same messages start: "Send me that one." Google Photos is preparing a new feature to end this cycle.
The feature, called Group Camera, was uncovered by Android Authority in version 7.97 of the app. The goal is simple: all photos and videos taken at an event will automatically come together in a shared album for participants.
How will the shared album work?
The user first creates an album dedicated to the event. Then everyone shoots through Group Camera, and the shots are collected in a single album. The question of which photo is stuck on whose phone disappears.
When the shared camera goes live, participants will receive a notification. This should also reduce the hassle of sending images one by one through messaging apps.
Shooting directly from the lock screen
Another notable aspect is the lock screen shortcut. During the event, participants will see a dedicated camera shortcut on their phones, letting them shoot directly without opening Google Photos and hunting for the album.
Group Camera is still in development. Google has not announced a release date yet.
