Google Photos is getting updated with feature to help you clear backed-up photos

(Before It's News)

I’ve always found it interesting that cloud-based services were always happy to back up your photos and other junk, but never offered to get rid of the local copy when it was done doing that, particularly on mobile devices. Well, Google Photos now has that functionality after an update today. The Photos app will now have a “Free Up Space” button that will allow you to bulk delete photos that have already been synced with your account. As a nice related feature, Google Photos will now alert users when their device is nearing their storage limit.

There’s also a small number of other features that people will find useful, such as deleting photos from SD card and downgrading photos from Original quality to High quality after they’ve been uploaded. Apart from the “Free Up Space” feature, I don’t think this update will affect my life that much, but I’m sure there are lots of Photos power-users out there who will appreciate the update. As always, don’t freak out if you don’t have the update available yet – it could take a few days for the update to become available for your device.

What do you think about the Google Photos update? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
