- Google Photos’ upcoming Photo Stack feature will automatically group similar photos in a stack.
- This will help declutter the main feed by clubbing together images that are essentially the same.
- Users will be able to choose the top photo in the photo stack and delete the other similar photos.
Google Photos is a great tool to back up your photos online, and it’s working its way towards helping you manage your media library, too. The app already automatically organizes your library and makes searching through it a breeze. There are also periodic reminders to archive screenshots and the like. We know that Google was working on a Photo Stack feature to deal with duplicate photos, and we now have our first look at what this feature could look like.
According to a report from TheSpAndroid, the Photo Stack feature within Google Photos will “automatically group similar photos that were taken together.” This helps declutter your main feed, and you can pick a top photo and delete the other similar photos in the stack.
When the feature is rolled out, you will need to enable the feature within Google Photos, present at Settings > Preferences > Stack similar photos. You will also be able to enable it by toggling the option in the three-dot menu on the top right, within the main “Photos” tab.
