Google Photos app is rolling out a new feature that aims to make it easier for users to catch up on incoming activity. It appears as a new feed with options to see updates to shared albums, conversations, memory, and storage. The feature has been released for the Google Photos app for both Android and iOS platforms and can be accessed from the home page. This is the second feature replacement that the Mountain View-based tech giant has introduced in the last few months, following the rollout of the Collections tab which replaced Library in August.
