TL;DR
- Google Photos is removing tap, circle, and scribble shortcuts for editing tools on Android.
- Tools like Move, Erase, and Reimagine are now accessed through menus or search instead.
- Google says the change should reduce accidental edits and improve performance.
Google Photos and its editor have been in a near-constant state of change over the past couple of years, and it doesn’t look like things are settling down just yet. The latest tweak changes how you interact with some of the app’s most powerful tools, and while it looks like a bit of a regression in some respects, it aims to make the editor less frustrating to use.
