Google Testing New Pop-Up UI For Quick Sharing Of Photos And Videos

The company is said to be working on a new pop-up UI that would let users share photos and videos directly from the Google Photo app's library.

Seems like Google is working to change the UI of Google Photos as the company is said to be working on a new pop-up UI that would let users share photos and videos directly from the Google Photo app's library. The new pop-up UI will give a revamp to the Google Photos app and the change is being seen on some devices, and the company is likely testing the feature at this point, the media has reported.

The revamped Google Photos UI brings all options down to the bottom of the screen, with “Share,” “Add to,” and “Delete” as primary options. The list continues with options to delete content from the device, order prints, move to archive, and move to the Locked Folder, according to a report by 9to5Google.

Google Photos has been introducing nifty additional to the app from time to time and earlier in May, the app rolled out new filters. Google added new filters in the Google Photos app that lets users show their skin in its true shade. With the Pixel 6 series, Google worked to adjust the phone's camera to more accurately capture the wide variety of human skin tones, so that people can see their true selves in photographs.

At Google I/O, the company released the Monk Skin Tone Scale, an open-source library to help make machine learning of images more inclusive by better interpreting tones and shades. At the time, the company announced that the Monk Scale would soon be put to use within the Google Photos app to offer specialised filters that tweak the skin tones of people in photos users have previously taken.

As shared on Twitter, these new Real Tone filters are rolling out now to Google Photos users on Android, iOS, and the web. With the feature, users should have a suite of new options in the "Filters" tab of the Google Photos editor, with choices like Playa, Isla, Honey, and Desert. According to Google, the filters were specially designed to "work well across skin tones".

If the filter users have selected is one of the new ones, they should see an overlaid mention of "Made with Real Tone". Each filter should also have adjustments users can make, to deeply refine any given picture.
