Google Is Now Developing A New Social App for Group Photos

Google has recently said that they are putting to rest on a social-messaging app that it is working on three others in its wake. Google's newcomer is a photo sharing and editing app that the company confirmed; stating that they are now running tests.

According to Android Police, this new app will be a mix of Google Photos, Snapchat, and Path creating Google's image recognition technology. This app will be like less of a messaging app and more of a place where users can create and join groups that are all dedicated to photo sharing. Using this app, anyone can edit, upload, and tag photos shared to a group which Google can work its magic behind the every photo's scenes to identify objects in photos that tags them, organize them, and make them easier to find for future purposes.

For this new Google photo app, it sounds like an impressive idea for sharing photos from certain events or with groups of people in times you participate in any activities. This app will also edit and filters to the pictures. According to Tech Crunch, the reason why this app isn't integrated into Google Photos is simply because the company is now simply testing the functionality and wants to see if it could take off or not. Google Photos already offers albums and ability to upload, comment on shared photos, and edit it.

As for Google's new app functionality, this means that users will face issues of either they will welcome and try this new app that we are all sure that it will be completely scanned or swept into another app at any point. However, maybe users will refuse to indulge Google's whims and thus show little interest into what could be a great idea.

Google faces competition from the popularity of Twitter, Snapchat, and Facebook for both advertisers and consumers. Users can easily go to these apps which can ultimately cut into Google's mainstay advertising business and revenues. Google will launch this app in May to face against Apple's Clips.
