Users slam Google Photos for 'less functional' editing UI and cluttered design


The changes Google's brought in aren't sitting too pretty with end-users.

Reports state the UI is "far too cluttered" and that simple ways of making "rapid edits" no longer exist as issues with the new sliders and crop corners are highlighted. User Smoke-away on the Google Pixel subreddit posted an in-depth personal review of the latest Photos app editor UI changes. Other users chimed in, agreeing with the OP (original poster), stating the UI has become cluttered/a mess and that "losing visual space" with the changes done to the crop corners is "pointless."
