• 15 GB OF CLOUD STORAGE: Every Google Account comes with 15 GB of storage and you can choose to automatically back up all your photos and videos in Storage saver quality or Original quality. Your photos are safe, secure, and private to you. All photos and videos you backed up in Storage saver quality before June 1, 2021 do not count toward your Google Account storage. *Storage is shared between Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos.
• FREE UP SPACE: Never worry about running out of space on your phone again. Photos that are safely backed up can be removed from your device’s storage in just a tap.
• NO ADS: Google Photos doesn't sell your photos, videos, or personal information to anyone and we don't use your photos and videos for advertising.
• FAST AND POWERFUL SEARCH: Your photos are now searchable by the people, places and things in them—no tagging required.
• GOOGLE LENS: Search what you see. This preview enables you to identify text and objects in your photos to learn more and take action.
• SMARTER SHARING: With smart sharing suggestions, giving your friends the photos you took of them is painless. And they can add their photos, too, so you’ll finally get the photos you’re actually in.
• ADVANCED EDITING: Transform photos with a tap. Use intuitive and powerful photo and video editing tools to apply content-aware filters, adjust lighting, and more.
• MOVIES AND GIFS, MADE FOR YOU: Get automatically created movies, collages, GIFs, and more from your photos. Or easily create them yourself.

Ratings and Reviews
God’s gift to photography :)
Super happy with the Google photos app. Here are the features that I love: 1) virtually unlimited storage 2) “Then and now” suggestions take you through memory lane 3) Stylized photo recommendations are good 4) Face recognition and auto tagging saves a lot of bother - I really love this aspect - though I must say the tagging isn’t yet perfect. (It mixes up my two kids because they look somewhat similar) 5) Auto backup and archiving helps me manage space on my phone better. Some areas to improve: 1) Photo editing - e.g. sending a live message is easy in Galaxy Note - something similar would be beautiful 2) Sharing options - seems to automatically reduce the size of the picture being shared. Can provide options for picture sizes at all times, especially when sharing via email.
Amazingly intuitive App
Google photos never fails to surprise me. It always seems to know what would make my life easier and come up with the suggestions to make those changes. For example, I love their level of key word search and subject sorting which is just amazing. They identify the multiple subjects my pictures contain and label them under those categories which make finding the images so much easier. So, a picture of sea or sky or boats or buildings can be located just by these subjects. I also love their suggestions for editing and improving the images. Using the Google Photos App is just like that experience that whenever you open your door you find someone standing there holding a gift for you!!! It’s a pleasure to have such an intuitive buddy.
Doesn’t work with iCloud enabled photos
Update: now the below issue is fixed. Google photos working as expected.
This is a well designed app. Really. Although I am paying for Google cloud storage to store original resolution pictures and videos, but I cannot use this app because I have also enabled iCloud for Photos on iPhone. And Google Photos doesn’t work with iCloud enabled Photos. When iCloud is enabled, iPhone stores full resolution pictures in the iCloud and low resolution on iPhone. And Google Photos starts uploading low res photos to cloud. It should first fetch the full res pictures and videos from iCloud. Many other apps download original picture from iCloud. Why can’t Google Photos?
