Google is reportedly testing a new option that could let users skip its latest Google Photos feature, called “Quick Edit,” when sharing photos.
This move comes after some users expressed frustration with the feature, which automatically prompts them to enhance or crop their photos before sharing.
The Quick Edit feature is designed to automatically suggest improvements to photos, making them look their best with just one tap.
While this can be useful for some, it has become an annoyance for others, especially those who prefer to edit their photos manually or use other apps for sharing, like Instagram, which already offers its own editing tools.
Currently, users who have the feature available are prompted to crop and enhance their images before sharing. However, many users find this unnecessary, especially if they have already edited their photos beforehand.
In response to user feedback, Google is testing a pop-up button labeled “Turn off quick edit” that would allow users to disable the feature permanently.
This would return the sharing process to its previous, simpler method. For users who prefer the Quick Edit tool, Google is also testing a new, streamlined cropping tool within the feature.
The Quick Edit feature is still being tested with select users, but it looks like Google is working to improve it before rolling it out to a wider audience.
