In the new version of the Google Photos application, which should soon become available to all users, the developers have completely redesigned the interface. The search bar at the top has now become the fifth tab in the bottom bar, and the Albums tab has been expanded to Libraries, where you can find Favorites, Archive, Utilities, and Trash.

The main sandwich menu is completely gone. Some important functions from it have been placed in tab sections. For example, "Free up space" and "Library management" can now be found in the "Utilities", which are hidden in the "Library".

The Google Photos update is rolling out gradually. In the near future, it should be available to all Android and iOS users. Check the new version in the app stores.
