Hands-on with Google's new Photos service - Google I/O 2015

Google Photos is fast, free, and not Google+. Note: this is an update to a video depicting the former Photos app, now with further impressions from the app on iOS.

Hey remember when they tried to review the new app but actually reviewed the old one? I do.

//Verge should spend less time fawning over Apple crap and make sure that they are actually covering the correct apps. And yes, we know that the Photo Service is "Not G+", but G+ is still around, despite the constant "Ghost Town" drumbeat.

Waaiiittt, Google's new photo service. But you demo it on an iPhone. Oh wait, this is the verge. Of course.

[MatthewRichardson]

Is this the right version of the video now?

[DjangoGroen]

Where can I download the android version?

[creasyfisher]

I can't watch the videos after the process. It just loads infinitely. Please help.

This new Google Photos app is freaky and scary but awesome.

Could not get the people gathering feature to work. Aperantly it is not available for everybody.

What is the size of your DSLR photos?
I have the 60D and it's 18mp but unlimited storage is at 16mp based on what it says on their site.

Saw the one they screwed up and its one of the reasons I don't count verge as a fair reviewer #totalsheeps

2) Laugh at how dumb they are
3) Hope it doesn't taken down

Why is it that when I delete a photo from Google photos it deletes from the actual iPhone gallery?

[TheShapingSickness]

People is my favorite feature too, it's crazy good!

Pinch to zoom in and out is also pretty handy, it makes things so much easy to find, I can literally find the photo I want in just a few seconds and taps.

You can also type in stuff like dog, river, tree and it will find those things, and this ain't new but now it is incredibly accurate.

This was a mayor upgrade to the existing service, which is think it's the best photo platform right now.

The free unlimited "compressed" version supports up to 16mp pictures and 1080p video.

The way he starts the review, it's like everything is compressed. It's not. Since most cameras on phones don't go over 16mp, pictures taken with them are NOT compressed. He should know that... He's on an iPhone....

Do your homework before posting a review.

The Verge. Your place for low quality tech news.. Are you sure it's the right app this time??

[fdanny]

one question
how to transfer the photos from google photos to ios device? i have backed up my photos but there is no option to transfer it to my iPhone

[benmiller]

How does it save space on your phone if it automatically syncs and deletes photos you have on your camera roll?

[sciguystfm]

Is Tom drunk in this video? This has got be the the least professional, and least coherent review I've ever seen on this channel. Not to mention the other video, in which they reviewed the wrong version of the app! Get your shit together guys
