Jakarta - After making users angry, Google Photos finally fixed the problem with the crop feature through the latest update on Android. This fix targets a bug that is quite disturbing - from a preview of a shrinking image to a photo that suddenly rotates itself when edited.
For those who often edit photos quickly on your phone, this is good news.
Previously, some users reported that when pulling the crop frame, the image preview was abnormally small. Worse, there was a bug that made the photo suddenly change orientation or flip itself without being asked.
Now? Google ensures that the two problems have been resolved. "Image previews now appear accurate, and the cropping and rotation process is more stable," the company wrote in its official update.
More Smooth Animation, More Pleasant Editing
In addition to bug fixes, this update also brings improvements to animations. The movement when dragging, rotating, and changing the ratio now feels smoother and more responsive.
It's not a "wow" update, but for everyday editing experience, this is a noticeable upgrade.
Google Photos journey is also quite interesting. It used to be just a place to backup photos, now it has turned into a smarter editing tool.
AI integration is one of the keys. Features such as AI-based image generators - known internally as "Nano Banana" - are beginning to open up new possibilities in editing photos without high technical skills.
In fact, Google is also rumored to be developing a "digital wardrobe" feature that can recognize outfits from photos and allow users to try them virtually.
Heading to Google I/O 2026
With updates continuing to roll out, it's likely that Google will showcase more new features at the upcoming Google I/O 2026.
If this trend continues, Google Photos will not only be a gallery - but can turn into a "mini creative studio" in the palm of your hand.
