- In its current form, Google Photos encourages users to capture a screenshot of the code to share with their contacts.
- We have also uncovered a new bottom sheet that introduces users to the updated Collections tab.
Google Photos has let you share albums with a link for some time now. Last year, the app gained a QR code-based solution to make things easier.
