<activity android:theme="@7F151042" android:name="com.google.android.apps.photos.flowers.FlowersActivity" android:exported="false" android:launchMode="1" android:screenOrientation="5"/>The newly added internal feature in “Google Photos,” “Group camera,” is a convenient tool that automatically collects photos taken by pre-invited group members into a single “shared album.” Previously, creating a “shared album” required users to manually add photos and videos to the album after the fact.
However, with the new “Group camera” feature, once the creator sets a name and duration (start/end date and time) and invites users, a “Group camera” shortcut will appear on the lock screens of the invited users’ smart devices during that specified period. When photos or videos are taken by launching the camera through that “Group camera” shortcut, they are automatically added to the “Group camera” shared album.
By utilizing the “Group camera,” users can save a significant amount of hassle since there is no need to manually add photos and videos to a “shared album” after taking them. However, whether it will actually see widespread use is another question, especially since a “group camera” workflow is not yet a common cultural habit.
