Google Photos was updated just under a week ago with more advanced customization to remove the ex’s fingerprint from photos in which it still appears. Now it’s time for a visual change in the photo carousel for memories, those moments that bring back memories of photographs taken years ago.
In fact, it uses the Material You design language that Google has implemented in a wide variety of apps or in ChromeOS itself. The idea is harmonize the animations and style of the elements that appear in the interface, in addition to making the user experience more modern and current. As with every application and operating system, these updates are c onstant.
And while there are some that might not get as much attention, in this case, in today’s Google Photos update, it’s an update special with a very elegant touch to the generated animation. when you start scrolling through all the photos of the carousel of memories.
The main difference is how the center of the image largely remains visible when you start moving sideways to see the rest of the memories. Material You animation generates contraction and expansion images that appear and disappear on the left and right sides.
And what it does is generate a more modern and fluid visual experience so that even when you leave your finger pressed while you scroll sideways, you can clearly see the development made in the interface animation so that it is a very special moment. Especially in photos that usually bring back memories from a few years ago, many of which are nostalgic.
In the current or old carousel (if the update has not yet been received) everything remains static
The new Google Photos animation and interaction has also been included in the contacts page of the Google Messages app and the wallpaper picker of the Pixel mobile app launcher. These and the one in the photos create a parallax effectaccording to 9to5Googlewhich also ensures that the photo that appears next is as if emerging from the background and thus offers the sensation of being in front of a 3D object from which the photos come and go.
