Google Photos is one of the more viable options for cloud storage for photos and videos, and now it’s getting even better.
Google has officially updated its Google Photos app, bringing the version up to 1.8. With it, there’s a few key new additions, with the biggest tentpole being the addition of support for Apple’s Live Photos. Users will not only be ale to backup Live Photos within the app, but also view them as well. The update also makes it possible for users to use less cache space when your device is low on space.
The update also means Google Photos now officially supports Split View on an iPad, and adds iPad Pro support, too.
