Google has really doubled down on its Google Photos app, and yet another remind of this, Google has acquired Fly Labs to bolster the functionality that already exists. If you’ve never heard of Fly Labs, that’s because their apps – Clips, Tempo, Fly and Crop – have only been available on the iOS platform to the tune of 3 million downloads and 20 million videos edited. This purchase means that these apps will only exist on the App Store for another 3 months, and won’t be receiving any other updates – but you know, that’s only if you have an iOS device.
If you’re on an Android device and love Google Photos, you’ll be excited to know that Google is going to be incorporating Fly Labs video editing know-how into the Google Photos app. It seems inevitable now that Google Photos is going to be morphed into your one-stop shop for all visual media needs and presumably Google’s machine learning algorithms are going to be coming along for the ride too – we’re excited.
