Google Photos might soon offer an option to automatically enhance photos before sharing them. This enhancement option would appear directly in the sharing menu, making it more convenient than the current process of manually enhancing photos before sharing.
This potential feature
was discovered while analyzing the code of the Google Photos app. What was found was that when you select "Enhance Photo," the app will show you a comparison of the original and enhanced images. However, during their test, the comparison showed blank images, signaling that the feature isn't quite ready yet.

This feature seems to be limited to sharing single photos, so you won't be able to enhance multiple photos at once. While this is still an improvement over the current method, it would be even more helpful if it worked for batch sharing.
The discovery of this enhancement feature follows another recent finding suggesting that
Google Photos might also add a "Show More" option to Memories, allowing users to see more photos of a specific person. However, it is important to note that, as of now, Google hasn't announced a timeline for releasing either of these features to the public. The information discovered so far is based on code analysis, and it's possible that the features may change or not be released at all.
With the potential addition of the "Enhance Photo" option, Google Photos aims to make photo sharing even easier and more streamlined. Users will be able to quickly enhance their photos before sharing them, potentially saving time and effort. I look forward to having this auto-enhance feature available, in addition to all the other various editing tools that Google Photos offers — such as adjusting brightness, contrast, saturation, and the many filters and effects that can be applied to photos for a more stylized look.
