Google Photos’ Library is dead — say hello to Collections
The redesign is supposed to make it easier to find your photos.
9to5Google notes that the search tab has also been redesigned, replacing the previous image tiles with a list of suggested options like Screenshots, Selfies, and Menus. The Collections view — which replaces the existing library tab but retains the same bookshelf-style icon — is currently rolling out to all Android and iOS Google Photos users, but may take a few weeks to arrive on all devices. Users can head into the Collections tab and tap on Albums to switch between different views like “All,” “Shared with me,” and “My albums.” Folders for “Favorites” and “Trash” will be displayed up top, while Google says the remaining two tiles “may rotate based on the items you navigate to the most.” Users’ Locked Folders will no longer be suggested at the top of the Collections view following complaints about the placement.
