    I honestly wish they would just roll Photos back to what it was a few years ago - it was perfect, but they had to mess with it.

      What do you dislike about the current design? I don’t use it all that often, but it seems fine for the most part.

        I feel they’ve overcomplicated it with all the themed stuff on the top row. And also, in fact moreso, I hate what they did with Creations - so often I get a notification that Photos has made a collage or an animation or whatever, but if I don’t follow the notification right away, I find it really hard to find them in the app later. Used to be much simpler.

        Also (and they may have changed this admittedly, I haven’t checked) at the time of those changes, they borked the video editor by making all outputs in portrait mode, even if shot in landscape. So you ended up with huge black spaces at the top and bottom instead of a frame filling 16:9 output.

          Those all sound like fair complaints! Pretty glad I don’t use it much, haha. My main purpose for it is sharing photos of my kids with my parents a few states away.

            Yeah I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s still a very good and useful tool. I love being able to find old photos by looking at a map, so I don’t need to know what it was taken! I just wish they hadn’t messed with those bits.

            Proper first world problems though, I know! ;-)

    Now if YouTube Music were updated to look like all other Google apps… I have no idea why it looks different than all others and for some reason it’s got two distinct settings menus.
