Google is rolling out a few updates new features to improve its Photos service today. Most notably, Photos now has a permanent search bar up top instead of the previous floating action button.
The idea is to emphasize search by making it more accessible; with one tap, you can see recent searches, search people, places, videos, collages and GIFs, or – of course – simply type what you’re looking for.
Previously you’d have to click on the floating action button before initiating a search, and do a fair bit more scrolling to access the different search types.
Meanwhile, Photos now lets you customize automatically-created movies with music, photos and videos of your own choosing.
Finally, you also have a bit more control over your file system – Photos now lets you create, rename or delete folders, as well as copy and move photos between them.
