Google is updating its Photos cloud storage service with a bunch of features these days. The recent features include ‘Favorite’ and ‘Like’ buttons.

More details about the features:

The two different reaction icons serve two different purposes.

Like/Heart

The heart is available when viewing photos friends have shared on the platform. The reaction is available for individual photos and entire albums. When a friend reacts to your photo or album, a heart icon with their name appears underneath.  When viewing photos a friend/family member has sent to you on Google Photos, tapping the new ❤ button will show them you like what you see. This feature is coming next week.

Star

The star, on the other hand, is designed for your own photos. Tapping the new ⭐ icon will mark that photo as a favorite. The star icon in the app will mark photos as a favorite, collecting all the favorites into one automatically generated album, similar to the heart icon in Apple Photos. Favorites won’t work on photos friends have shared with you, however, unless you add the photo to your own Google Photos library.

Google photos has recently updated its app by adding color pop, auto brightness, and archive feature.
