Google rolls out a chat feature in Google Photos use it before its axed

The lineup includes both active and inactive names such asGoogle Talk, Hangouts, All, Duo, SMS Messenger, and RCS-based Chat app.

Google said it was always possible to share photos through links or albums, but it wanted to make the experience of sharing one-offphotos easier:

Youve always been able to share individual photos through the app by creating an album for a single photo and sharing the link. But weve heard from some of you that this could be a simpler experience, so now when you share one-off photos and videos, youll have the option to add them to an ongoing, private conversation in the app.

While it may seem an intuitive and useful feature at first, a lot of folks use photos or links from Google photos to share it on other platforms such as Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, or Twitter.

Plus, if youre sharing multiple photos, creating a shared album is a superior option than sharing them in a chat window.
