Google Photos gets new updates before rolling out new storage policy

Google had announced in November last year that its Photos app would no longer provide free storage for high-quality uploads for users. The policy would be rolled out on June 1, but before the roll-out Google has launched a few tools to help users free up space. Google Photos was considered one of the best storage apps available because it allowed users to keep settings at high-quality photos so that the phone would continue backing up pictures that would not count against the standard 15GB storage. But Google decided to do away with one of its most popular features. Before announcing the new storage policy, Google shared some of the new updates that would help users in knowing about their storage limit. Google has added a new review tool that would let users get rid of unwanted or blurry pictures. The tool will highlight pictures or videos that are blurry, screenshots and large videos that unnecessarily eats up a lot of space. “Today, we’re starting to roll out a tool in the Photos app to help you easily manage the photos and videos you’ve backed up that count toward your storage quota. The storage management tool surfaces photos or videos you might want to delete — like blurry photos, screenshots and large videos — so you can get the most out of your storage. You can also purchase more storage through Google One where available,” Google said.
