Google Photos Introduces Manual Image Categorization for Documents
-
Google Photos is introducing the ability to manually categorize images of documents like receipts and tickets. Previously it had only auto-categorized them since 2021.
-
The new options allow users to change the assigned category for document images in Google Photos. This helps better organize that type of content.
-
The new categorization options appear when viewing document images full-screen, via a tag icon in the top left corner. Users can choose "Change categories" or "View all documents".
-
The manual categorization feature is likely rolling out as a server-side update to the Google Photos app, meaning it may not be live for all users yet even on the latest versions.
-
The new functionality for better organizing document images in Google Photos follows a similar upcoming feature spotted for Google Drive, improving document handling in 2023 across Google's services.
