Google is constantly working on improving its applications, and the latest to get an update is Google Photos, which has reached version 1.24. The update has already started rolling out, and there are some improvements that users can check out.

Google has recently updated Photos to version 1.24 and added some neat features, including improved cropping tool and sorting options for albums, according to Android Police. The cropping tool in Google Photos worked decently, and users were given the option to crop off an edge of a picture or rotate the image in any way.

The cropping tool has now gotten improvements, in the sense that buttons have been moved to the bottom, and a better rotation slider has been implemented. Google has added a new button that allows users to keep the aspect ratio while resizing the box in order to include more elements.

The app comes with a feature that enables users to sort albums in multiple ways. The sorting option is found in the overflow menu, and it allows users to change the album's sorting mode. Before the update rolled out, users could only switch between “recently added” and the “default mode.”

Just recently, Google updated the iOS version of Google Photos with Burst Photo support and a new cropping tool. The new version allows users to hold down on the apps' on-screen shutter release button in order to capture images. The update also brought speed improvements, and battery and cellular data were reduced thanks to the new update.
