New Google Photos Features
According to an Android Police report, new Google Photos features have appeared like to automatically adjust brightness, image rotation, and screenshots archiving, and images of things like labels, menus, and receipts are now available in the app, and even on its Web module.
In the new Google Photos features, the app can also ask for an auto-brightness fix. The necessity arises on photos that are taken with a brightness that is not quite up to the mark. This automatically adjusts the settings of the images.
Another new Google Photos features are when the app recommends image rotation. It arises on badly-oriented images.
