that’s all you need to know

Google Photos has become one of the most used cloud photo and video storage applications in Europe. The reason is that it comes pre-installed on most cell phones sold in Europe. Perhaps, except for the Apple and Huawei models, all the others have it as standard, in addition to having it on the main desktop when the mobile first starts.

Google managed to most people use it as a gallery app and, what’s more, use it to have a backup copy of your photos outside of your mobile. The reason it has become so popular is because it is a very good app. Search tools, face tagging or word filters make it an indispensable tool if we usually see many photos that we have saved.

But it is also a good application if what we record and save are videos. Especially if we have young children, nephews or pets. Videos are becoming more and more popular, which is normal in the age of apps like Instagram or TikTok. AND having dozens of videos stored may not be the most convenient way to view them or to share them.

This is why Google Photos allows create short videos of less than a minute of the people you want

For example, it is possible to make a short video of two brothers using only the videos that were recorded in specific years. Or certain months. To do this we must open the application, click on the + icon at the top right and choose Highlights Video. On the screen that appears we must select the people or places we want, and if we click on the calendar icon We can also choose the time period we want the videos to be selected.

The system will choose 11 videos and mix them automaticallykeeping the audio but using a song in the background to make it better. If we want to delete one of the videos, just click on it and select the Delete button. In addition, it is possible to modify its length and change the aspect ratio, in case we want to make it vertical. It is also possible to change the music by clicking on the musical note icon and finally to save the video by clicking on Save.
