How Google Photos earned my trust through ten years of constant updates
The photo storage app has mostly changed for the better

Google Photos is 10 years old. The successor to Google+'s photo features, it's rapidly grown over the years to become a staple of the Android experience. AP's Taylor Kerns pointed out that it's now the one Google service he can't live without. It's not a controversial opinion either; Google Photos is packed with industry-leading photo management and editing tools. While the company has become miserly with its storage limits in recent years (more on that later) it's still the best photo storage app around in 2025.
