It will automatically club similar shots together, reducing clutter in the library, and it will identify and automatically categorize screenshots and documents into new albums like - IDs, receipts etc. for easier sorting.

A new Photo Stack feature will organize similar photos by recognizing the subject and the time frame within when the shots were taken. It automatically curates a "Top pick" which, in its opinion, will be the best photo of the stack. Users can also manually assign top picks.

Automatically curated albums for screenshots, and documents can be easily accessed using a search tab under a new dedicated "Documents" section.

You can also set reminders from directly within the Google Photos app now, allowing you to sync your calendar with photos of text or date information. The app will now automatically archive photos or documents after 30 days, hiding them for view, for a less cluttered interface.
