I’ve been using Google Photos for 10 years and this is what I want to see in the next 10 years

Joe Maring / Android Authority I’m as cynical as the next tech writer about Big Tech’s trajectory, but I’ve always had a soft spot for Google Photos. The app recently turned ten years old, and I’ve been there every step of the way, although it certainly took me a while to discover its full potential.
