Highlights Google Photos is replacing the "Sharing" tab with an "Updates" feed. It will be accessible via a notification bell icon. Users can still access sharing activities and conversations through the overflow menu. The "Updates" feed is rolling out for Android, not yet available on iOS. Google Photos has been on a spree of revamping the app functionalities lately. Earlier in August this year, the app update swapped out the "Library" tab for "Collections." Now, a recent 9to5 Google report suggests that Google Photos is rolling out another change. According to reports, Google Photos is replacing the "Sharing" tab with an "Updates" feed. The New Google Photos update shows a bell icon in the app for users to check recent conversations and shared links. (Screenshot credit - 9to5Google) Previously, users could find the Sharing page by tapping a 'people' icon between the ‘plus’ menu and profile avatar. This page offered shortcuts like “Create shared album” and “Share with partner,” followed by an “Albums and Memories” carousel and a list of ongoing “Conversations.” Now after the recent update, users will see a notification bell icon in the app bar to “See recent sharing updates, including conversations and shared links.” Tapping this opens the new "Updates" feed. From the overflow menu, users can still access the following - Sharing activities including Shared links, Shared memories and Conversations Conversations It appears that Google is steadily moving away from its in-app messaging system, Conversations. The notification bell icon is now familiar in Google’s ecosystem and is also used in apps like Home, Play Store and YouTube. Google Photo’s in-app messaging system is called Conversations.
