Google's Photo Selection App is Now Available on All Android Phones
- 20 Oct 2022
Google's new photo picker is now available on virtually all Android phones, and it's a welcome addition for anyone who's ever had to scroll through a gallery of photos on a small screen. The picker, which was first announced at Google I/O last May, allows you to select photos from your camera roll or Google Photos without having to open the full gallery app.
The update includes a new feature that allows users to select their photos from a variety of sources, including their camera roll, Google Photos, and Facebook.
The update also includes a new way to share photos with your contacts. Now, when you select a photo, you can choose to share it with a specific contact or group of contacts. You can also choose to share it with everyone in your Google account.
To use the picker, simply open the app you want to use it in (like Gmail or Hangouts) and tap the photo icon. You'll see a new icon in the upper-right corner that looks like a grid of dots. Tap that, and you'll be able to select photos from your camera roll or Google Photos without having to open the full gallery app.
The picker is a welcome addition for anyone who's ever had to scroll through a gallery of photos on a small screen. And it's especially useful for people who use Google Photos, which offers unlimited photo storage for free.
The update is available now and should be rolling out to all users in the coming days.

Jodie Foster Unmasks the Formula: A Critical Look at the Film's Mechanical Narrative
The conversation around the recent Formula 1 film has taken an unexpected turn following a candid commentary by Jodie Foster. Her remarks, delivered during an industry event about the evolving business of cinema, suggest that the film’s style and delivery seem almost mechanical in nature.
Foster expressed her view that the movie adheres to a formulaic structure, one that could easily be compared to lessons learned in a classroom setting. She noted that every aspect—from the scripted dialogue to the predictable performances—mirrors what one might expect if the creative process were entirely dictated by artificial precision.
