Google is improving the photo sharing experience in its Google Photos app by adopting the native sharing sheet available in Android 14. This replaces the previous custom sharing implementation used in the app.
When users go to share an image to Google Photos on Android 14, they will now see the “Share Image” sharing sheet slide up from the bottom. In the top right corner is a “Modify” button that allows users to select additional photos to share in a grid view.
The share sheet begins by showing a preview of the selected images. Tapping the pencil icon in the corner opens the built-in markup editor, allowing you to make quick edits like cropping, adding text, drawing, and highlighting before sharing.
Below the preview, the Android 14 share sheet shows relevant Google Photos actions, such as “Create link,” “Send photos,” “Add to album,” and “Create album.” Next come Direct Share targets, which use app signals to show more relevant options. The most used sharing applications follow.
Scrolling up displays the full sheet grid for sharing with additional apps. The nearby share may appear in the top share destination position.
This updated share sheet is starting to roll out now with version 5.65 of the Google Photos app on Android 14 Pixel phones. It doesn’t appear to be available for the Pixel tablet’s large screen interface yet. The old custom share sheet will likely remain on Android 13 and earlier.
The change aligns Google Photos with Chrome for Android, which also switched to the native sharing sheet in Android 14 in August. Moving to platform-level implementation improves sharing while providing a more consistent user experience across applications.
