GoKawiilGoogle Photos tests Copy and Download buttons for QR code album sharing
Android Authority found new code in Google Photos version 7.93.0 that adds direct Copy and Download options to the app's QR code sharing screen for albums. Currently, the app only lets users take a screenshot of the generated code to share it, but this hidden feature would let them save or copy the code directly instead.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Album sharing via QR codes was seemingly built for in-person use, and the lack of a proper save option made remote sharing clunky. Adding native download and copy tools would make the feature far more practical for sending albums through messaging apps rather than relying on manual screenshots.
