Other features include automatic sorting of screenshots and photographed documents into new albums like “ID,” “receipts,” and “Event Information” based on their content. Google Photos will also extract information from tickets and flyers, allowing users to set reminders directly from a photo. Documents and screenshots can be automatically archived and removed from the gallery after 30 days, but they will remain accessible from the new dedicated document albums. These features are optional and can be turned off if users prefer their current settings.
