Check out the new "must have" Google Photos app for Apple iOS and Android devices.  Released this week, the app offers free, unlimited cloud storage for all of your photos.

One cool new feature is the ability to search your photos by keywords.  Google Photos automatically organizes your photos by peoples, places and things.  At first it's a bit alarming but after being able to find photos quickly, you will come to appreciate the value of this technology.

In addition, there is basic photo editing and sharing within the app. 

Google Photos is a great new tool and we're excited to see what's next for this amazing app.

iPhone Tips

Apple iPhone has a number tricks to get your work done faster.  And you may not know some of them.

For example, you can type in uppercase by double clicking the Shift key twice quickly.  To turn off, just click the Shift key again.

And to type a special character like #, you can press and hold the #+= key and then slide to the desired character.  That allows you to continue to use the normal alpha keyboard afterwards.

Finally, to use alpha with special characters, such as ~ , press and hold a letter and other alternatives will appear.  Just select the one you want to use!
