Google Photos Reaches 100 Million Users

Everyone knows that Google's services boast millions of users, as they are easily accessible and are very handy. Once a user opens Chrome, the most popular web browser in the world, all of the search giant's tools are readily available. While Google is already a big name to begin with, for any service to reach millions of users in less than a year is a huge feat. And that's just what Google Photos has done this week.

According to a report from Pulse Headlines, the photo storage service has just reached 100 million members since its official released five months ago. This is indeed a great milestone for Google since even the photosharing app Instagram took a few years to get to that same number. Google Photos have been able to address the long-standing need for photo storage, and as it is also able to sort out the photos by using an algorithm which is the same as that of Facebook's, the service is functional for many users.

The algorithm, however, has caused controversy as it failed to accurately recognize and classify some photos. The blunder offended some users. But Google seemed to have fixed the problem. The feature has since helped users organize their photos easily, as the algorithm automatically sorts them out without having the need to label them. Keywords can also be searched easily. For example, if a user types "me", then the folder for selfies, and perhaps other images with the user's face in the storage, will appear.

Google Photos offers unlimited storage and can also clean out an account with the automatic upload feature. Users will not have to worry about which photos to keep and which to delete. Google celebrates this new milestone by releasing some trivia about the service and the users' photo-taking habits. Congratulations, Google Photos!
