Having an unstable internet connection is no longer a worry to smartphone owners as apps are finding means to make it easier to be used in whichever environment. From the long pile of lite apps that we’ve interfaced with, Google is joining the queue with an addition of Gallery Go.
This is a new app designed to let smartphone users with unreliable internet connections organize and edit their photos. Gallery Go is a compressed version of the regular Google Photos app and it uses the same machine learning to organize your photos, auto-enhance pictures and apply filters.
As expected of any light weight app, the new Gallery Go weighs 10 MB in size and is designed to work offline. It is already available to download in the Play Store, and you’ll need a device that’s running Android 8.1 Oreo or higher to run it.
Google says that the Gallery Go app will come pre-installed as the gallery app on the Itel S15 and A55 devices coming next month to Nigeria, and possibly spread to other emerging markets there after.
Other social apps like Facebook and Twitter earlier on released lite versions of the main Facebook app, Messenger and Instagram, and Twitter Lite app respectively; with many other companies like Uber, Spotify, among others also having their share of the lite app world.
Google also exhibited the abilities with its Android Go lightweight operating system by designing it to run on inexpensive smartphones lacking powerful processing.
