Google Photos launches a new feature

Google Photos app is very popular among Android users and it comes with various features. The app segregates pictures based on faces, things, places, or occasions and lets a user view the pictures category-wise. The functions in the app are AI-based and make it easier for a user to manage their photographs.

Google Photos app comes pre-installed on most Android devices and iOS users can download it from the Play Store. The app has recently launched a feature of video/ movie making based on certain themes. The feature is available in the latest version of the app, which generally gets updated automatically.

Earlier, Google Photos had a feature in which it would automatically create animations of similar pictures, events, persons or animals. However, the recent feature allows users to make movies based on several themes. Even though users can create new movies, the app has launched themes pertaining to common events like selfie movies, cat and dog movies. Moreover, the app has made themes based on the international events that would be coming in the near future like Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. Check out below how to make movies:
