Photos now put search front and center with the app update. The floating action button is replaced in favor of a search bar at the top of the screen. Once you touch this, you’ll see suggestions for faces, places, and images saved in your library. This matches the Android app up more closely with how the web app performs. Plus, the floating action button is better suited for apps that have multiple actions to perform, like Inbox or Drive.
Additionally, Google says you’ll be able to further customize those auto-generated movies by including your music, photos, and videos. You can also rename or delete device folders that you created and move images over to an SD card. This is helpful if you have a device like the Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge. With room for an extra 200GB of space.
