Google Photos has become the default app for many to manage not only photos in the cloud, but also those on your mobile phone itself. There is an option from Google itself that is a super simple alternative to this app, although it does not require an Internet connection.
But This network connection is one of the most powerful functions of Google Photos, which allows you to categorize images, manage locations, organize photos by the people in them and much more. One of the functions that few people know about is the management of photographs based on the documents that appear there, which can be normal, especially if we use the scanner function of certain Google applications.

automatically, Google ranks document images such as purchase receipts, documents reflecting our identity or even means of payment, such as bank cards. The new thing is that now all these images can be organized manually and not rely exclusively on the application’s automatic categorization. Of course, there are still a few features to add.
Organizing photos
To see the full list of documents stored by Google Photos we must go to Searcher. Once inside we go down this screen until we find the section Documents. Just to the right is a button that says See everything. If you click, you access the list of documents, each in one of the available categories.
These categories are screenshots, identity, event information, books and magazines, payment methods, notes, recipes and menus, receipts and social networks. Images detected by artificial intelligence that may fall into these categories will be included.
Documents in Google Photos
The news is that now You can remove these images from one category and include them in another. To do this, simply open the image and click on the label that appears in the upper left corner. When you press it, the text will be displayed Change category, this is what will give access to the available list in order to be able to select the most appropriate one.
You can select several, but What you can’t do is take a normal image and put a category on it.. This means that the images present in the documents have always been chosen by the application itself and, although we can extract them, we cannot add new ones.
