We've been seeing a huge push for Google Photos since its launch earlier this year. Google's made us an offer we can't refuse by offering unlimited storage (photos up to 16 MP and videos up to 1080p resolution). What kind of push, you may ask? I'm talking about teaming up with BuzzFeed and Jurassic World. Impressive! Google's not pulling any punches this time around.

Aaand we're back! Now that everyone's on the same page, here are the newest changes we can look forward to on Google Photos for Android (v1.2):
- Change cover photos on your albums
- Add and remove photos from an album from the same screen
- Add, edit, and view descriptions for individual photos
- Tap-and-hold a date header to select all photos from that day
- Pull down anytime to exit search
- Bug fixes and performance improvements
These updates are rolling out to the Play Store. But if you're impatient like us, then grab the APK from APK Mirror.
With more control over album content and photo descriptions, you can see Google's cooking up more and more reasons for people to get on board. There's no question we're going to see a load more of these updates as they compete with the other cloud services. How do you like the newest additions? What would you like to see included in future releases?
