Google Photos Updates

Live Albums – A special kind of album where you specify certain people and any pictures of those people or pets will be added to the album automatically.
Top Shot on Pixel 3: Take a motion picture with a Pixel 3 phone, and Google Photos will pick the best frame to be your still.
Depth Editor: you can adjust the amount of blur/focus on portrait photos. Only available on Pixel 2, Pixel 3, and a few other Android phones that take portrait/depth photos.

9/15/18: You can now add up to 10,000 photos or videos to a private album.

In a shared album, each person can add up to 10,000 photos or videos until the album reaches 20,000 total.
In large albums, some features may not be available
Mrs. Geek’s note: it’s still best to keep your albums under 500 photos. They get too confusing, unwieldy, and some features may not work in the bigger albums. The purpose of albums is to segment your photos/highlight your best. 10,000 photos is not a segment!

9/1/18: Photo Books can now have captions with the photos. See this demo in episode 151.

8/5/18: Problem with Snapseed not opening from iOS Google Photos menu. Reported in this thread.
