While the current search function on Google Photos is already pretty good, knowing that this app and service is run by the world’s search giant means we can expect something better. It looks like they are working on something new that should bring us better and multiple filters. Currently, you can already search through several filters like names and places but with these new filters, you will be able to whittle it down to more detailed filters like what kind of photos/videos you’re looking for.
The ever-reliable tipster and app reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong tweeted about this upcoming feature that seems to be in the late stages of testing already. She posted some screenshots from what seems to be the Google Photos Android app, as per Android Police. You can see a new “Filter” button under the search field. Next to it seems to be the photos of people that may be in your Photos. There are also filters like selfies, videos, and motion photos.
