Google Photos unveiled alongside a host of updates

Google has given more details about its new photo-sharing service Google Photos.

A range of announcements came at the opening of I/O, the technology giant’s annual developer conference held in California, and included a first look at the next version of its Android mobile operating system, but it is yet to reveal the name.

Still simply known as Android M, the new version will launch in the third quarter of this year to add what Android’s Sundar Pichai called “polish and quality”, rather than a major overhaul.
