Google Photos becomes even more useful! Photo: Google

Google is rolling out a new Google Photos update for Android that includes a number of new features that can help you free up storage space on your smartphone or tablet. Users will find a new “Free Up Space” button in the Settings menu that lets you bulk-delete photos that you’ve already backed up.

Yik Yak, the popular social networking app around college campuses, now lets users post photos in addition to their regular text posts. Being that the app relies on anonymous submissions, photos could significantly complicate that, so here’s the catch: you can’t post any photos of faces.

If you tried Google Photos and decided it wasn’t for you, you may be surprised to find you’re probably still uploading images to the service. Android users have found that even after deleting the Google Photos app on their device, their images continue to be uploaded to their Photos accounts.

Struggling to upload all of your cat snaps to Google Photos? You’re not the only one. A bug has been preventing some users from adding more images to their Photos library after reaching a certain number — but don’t worry; Google is not capping your unlimited storage allowance.

Google made it even easier to select images photos in its new Google Photos app by giving users a simple drag gesture. It works so well, in fact, that Apple stole it for iOS 9.
