Google plans exciting changes for Google Photos. The app could soon add video playback controls and backup scheduling. New features appear in version 7.58 through APK teardown. These updates improve user experience.
Google Photos Update : New Video Playback and Grid Options
Google Photos tests speed controls for videos. Users adjust playback in the three-dot menu. Options include:
- 0.25×
- 0.5×
- 1×
- 1.5×
- 2×
This feature stays disabled for now. Users have requested it for years. Google also tries a toggle to hide dates in the Photos grid. It creates a clean, continuous image view.

Backup Redesign And Schedule Feature
Google redesigns the backup settings page. It uses Material 3 Expressive UI. The page groups options under clear headings:
- How to back up
- What to back up
- Backup tools
A new Backup schedule option appears. It may let users choose daily, weekly, or monthly backups. The exact details stay unclear. This gives more control over when photos upload. These features remain in development. They may change or delay. Google has not shared a release date.
The Google Photos update makes the app more flexible. It helps users manage videos and backups easily.
