Six years after its launch, this Google Photos alternative made by Google is still a mystery to many.
- Google has a Gallery app (formerly Gallery Go) designed for offline photo viewing, which many users, even Pixel owners, are unaware of despite its billion-plus downloads and six-year existence.
- A trending Reddit thread revealed widespread surprise about the app’s existence, with users praising it as a simple alternative to Google Photos.
- The app has been under the radar due to a lack of promotion and updates from Google. It received minor improvements in January.
Google Photos isn’t just a feature-rich gallery app; it’s also a powerful editing tool, which explains why it’s among the most-used apps on Android devices. But did you know that Google also has another gallery app designed specifically for offline photo management? It’s essentially a lighter, offline-friendly version of Google Photos, and surprisingly, many Android users have never heard of it.
