Key Points:
- Google Photos for Android is rolling out a major redesign of the Collections tab, focusing on user customization.
- The new design introduces a "Pinned" section where users can select which cards to display, with default options including Favorites, Screenshots, and Trash, and the ability to remove this section entirely.
- Additional carousels for categories like On this device, Albums, People & pets, Wardrobe, Places, and Documents allow users to hide or reorder sections as desired.
- A new "Other Collections" grid includes various categories such as Moments, Videos, Recently Added, and Locked, with a "Reorder" button located at the bottom of the page.
- This redesign is widely available with Google Photos version 7.97 and can be activated by restarting the device and opening the app, rather than forcing a stop.
