Google Photos has long allowed users to share photos, videos or albums with just one link, making it easy for recipients to access shared content.
However, recently, there are many signs that Google is developing a new, more convenient sharing method - sharing via QR code.
According to data discovered in the source code of the Google Photos application (version 7.24.0.744869131) on Android, there have been some code pages related to the content sharing feature using QR codes.
Currently, Google has not announced the specific way this feature works. However, it is likely that recipients only need to scan the QR code provided by the recipient to receive a link to access photos, videos or albums on Google Photos.
If it becomes a reality, this will be a convenient solution for sharing images in many life situations. Users do not need to know the contact information or save the recipient's phone number, which is very suitable when they need to quickly share photos with strangers they have just met.
In fact, integrating sharing via QR code is not new to Google. Previously, the Quick share feature also allowed users to send content to others by scanning the QR code without having to adjust the sharing setting or add a recipient to the account.
