Google Photos: Zoom in while watching your videos with a gesture
XDA-Developers explains that it managed to activate a hidden function in the latest version of Google Photos. But does not explain its method.
This function allows you to zoom in the videos from the gallery simply with the famous pinch to zoom gestures. A welcome addition as our smartphones are more and more efficient for filming videos and capturing memories. In all likelihood, this function should soon be activated by Google.
Gizchina News of the week
It is worth to mention that recently, Google Photos on the Web has started receiving a new video editor, more or less on par with the one released for Android and iOS about a year and a half ago. Not much can be done: there is no support for filters or for overlaying text, just like in the app. However, you can insert photos, live photos and clips, you can replace the background music, but only with other songs from the Google library, not with anything you can choose. You can of course cut and shorten videos.
It is worth to mention that previously, the search engine giant has announced that the Google photo app will become more powerful. Since it is implementing the ability to “search for text in your images”.
