Google Photos adds a very useful feature

Vlad, 30 January 2025

Google Photos has now added what we consider to be a very useful feature, albeit it's only available on Android. It's the ability to quickly mirror your photos.

You just need to tap the Edit icon on any image, then select Crop, and tap the flip icon. Then all you need to do is tap Save and it's done. Do note that this is only available for photos.


This is most useful for selfies, which most phones automatically mirror. That's fine sometimes, but other times you might want to have an accurate representation of what you saw in the viewfinder. Some camera apps do have both options to pick from, but for those that don't, you can now easily rectify in Google Photos.

Like with all other edits made in Google Photos, this can be set to save the flipped/mirrored image as a copy, thus ensuring you keep the original as well. Or you can just alter the original directly, it's your choice.

This is the dumbest article I've read in 2025, surely Pixel owners aren't lacking this. I knew they lacked a good cpu, battery life, charging speed, decent network, fast storage, but surely not this?!!
