  • Google Photos could soon let you show only backed-up content from third-party apps in your main feed and even let you set this up per app across more third-party apps.
  • Google Photos could soon also show you a count of items in your device folders that have not been backed up yet.

Google Photos is an excellent cloud storage app for photos and videos, but Google has also equipped it with various features that make it a very good photo editing app. Thanks to it being preinstalled on Android phones, many users have come to rely on it as the sole photo management app on their devices. If you like to back up photos and videos from third-party apps onto Google Photos, Google is working on further improvements to clutter management within the app.

Earlier in the year, we spotted Google working on clutter management options, including the ability to customize whether backed-up images from others will appear in your primary Photos feed.
