Google has introduced a “Quick Edits” feature in Google Photos that allows users to edit images while sharing them without saving the changes to their library.
Users can crop or auto-enhance images and compare them to the original before sharing. Changes made will be saved for sharing within Google Photos, creating a shared link, or adding to a shared album, but won't be saved for sharing through other apps like Google Messages or WhatsApp.
The option to make these edits will automatically show up when sharing an image, and users can disable it by toggling the setting.
This feature is available for unedited images in Google Photos for Android 14 and above, excluding photos already edited and organized into specific albums like receipts or screenshots.
