Latest Google Photos Update Brings Machine Learning Sharing Features

Google announced a lot of stuff at this year's I/O, and among all of the buzz surrounding Android O, Google Lens, and Daydream, the company also introduced some new sharing features in Google Photos that takes advantage of the company's machine learning technology.

Today, Google is finally releasing some of those new features to the public. Version 3.0 of the Google Photos app is rolling out on the Play Store starting today.

There are two new sharing options being added to Google Photos – the first is Suggested Sharing. Suggested Sharing uses Google's machine learning to recommend photos that it thinks you should share with certain people based on who is in the photos, where certain pictures or videos were captured, and who was with you at that time.

All of these suggestions can be found in the Sharing tab at the bottom right of the app, and this is where you'll see not only suggested photos that Google thinks you should send to other people, but also any albums or other photos/videos that you've shared or others have shared with you.

Along with Suggested Sharing, the other big feature in this update are Shared Libraries. With Shared Libraries, you can choose someone to share either your entire Google Photos collection with or just a specific album. One potential use case here is for a husband and wife to share an album with one another that contains photos of their kid.

While you could just choose to manually share new photos with people as you take them, the cool part about Shared Albums is that they're updated for both parties whenever you take a new photo that belongs in that album. The husband could take a few photos of his child, Google will know that those are pictures of his kid, and then automatically add those photos to the Shared Album that the wife also has access to.

Both Suggested Sharing and Shared Albums should be available either now or within the next couple of days for Google Photos users on Android, web, and iOS.

How to Install Android 7.1 based LineageOS 14.1 on Galaxy S6

Samsung launched the Galaxy S6 a couple of years back and it was one of the most successful smartphones of the year. It has a really good set of specs for the price. However, if you own this smartphone, then you already know that the software on this is not all that good. And there is not a lot that you can do, apart from simply flashing a new custom ROM.

Well, if you are wondering how to do it, then you are in the right place since we will show you how to do the same. Today, in this tutorial, we will show you exactly How to Install Android 7.1 based LineageOS 14.1 on Galaxy S6. But before we begin the installation, let's take a look at some of the features it brings to the table.

About the ROM

Below are some of the working features of this ROM –

Below are some of the working features of the smartphone on this ROM –

Pre-requisite

  • The first thing which you need to make sure is that you are creating a complete backup of your files. Since we will be completely wiping the internal memory of the phone, you will end up loosing all your files.
  • You also need to make sure that you are installing a custom recovery software. You can install any of your choices, however, we suggest you go for TWRP for this installation.
  • You also need to make sure that the battery in the tablet has about 60-percent charge before you begin the installation. If your smartphone's battery dies during the installation, then you may end up with a completely bricked smartphone.
  • And lastly it is also necessary to make sure that you have downloaded the firmware file which is necessary for the installation. Without this file, you won't be able to proceed with the installation and hence we suggest you download the same from the link given below.
