TL;DR
  • Google has been testing a Tinder-inspired interface for reviewing and deleting photos.
  • We’ve now spotted new updates to the feature, and the interface looks closer to completion, suggesting it might roll out soon.
  • Google is also testing new animations for Memories in Google Photos.

Google is testing several features to help simplify your Photos library. Earlier today, we learned about a quick image search option that is being tested, and now we are examining what appears to be the near-final interface for the cleanup tool, inspired by Tinder’s left and right swipe gestures.

Google is advancing its previous tests with the cleanup tool that features a Tinder-style interface. Last month, we were able to get it working with some internal tweaking, which allowed us to see how the feature might function. At the time, the brush icon for the cleanup feature showed on top of a cluster of photos clubbed by date.

Android 17 is set to deliver a lot of changes to our favorite mobile operating system, not just in terms of new functionality, but also with updates to the look and feel of existing systems.
