| Google Photos "chat" share got enabled for me, fixes a couple of things, but misses basic stuff too Posted: 07 Dec 2019 04:39 AM PST I got the new chat-like sharing option enabled on my Pixel 4XL. It seems to me it was vastly overhyped. True that the most annoying thing about sharing a few photos via a link or directly (which created a new album) is gone, but that's about it. Functionally, it's about the same, I think it's a bit much to call it a "chat" feature. AFAICT you could do the same things with a shared album, and I don't see that you can do anything new. Comments and shared photos can be displayed in a timeline already in shared albums (tapping on the comment icon), the likes show within the timeline, just like before. The new feature seems to be what's been removed, namely the universal link that was viewable by anyone, and the unnecessary album creation. The only thing that distinguishes this that resembles a "chat" is that now instead of an album, you'll see the names of the people in the "chat" within the Share tab. The other albums are still there, mixed in. And it also misses basic chat features. For instance, you still cannot remove anyone from the "chat", and anyone can add anyone else (by name/Google account). Just like before, you can only leave the "chat" or block someone. This is something that was not only asked for by many people since Google Photos has existed, but acknowledged only in May this year by Google. Hopefully they add it soon, but it's a feature that should have been there since the beginning with album sharing in the first place. Oh, and you cannot share the same picture within the "chat". Imagine a years-old family chat, and you want to share an old pic. You share it, it even lets you compose the accompanying comment, and when you hit Send, it tells you the pic is already in "this conversation". And that's it. It doesn't tell you where, nor there is a way to bump it to the bottom or reference it. The comment you wrote is not posted either and it's gone. This feature will probably continue to evolve, but really, I don't get the point of an official announcement that deserved a blog post and many articles when in reality the only functionally different thing is that there is no album/random link generated anymore.
