Google Photos Is Getting an Editor Overhaul and New Sharing Features for Its 10th Birthday
Google Photos is 10 years old, and the search giant celebrated the milestone with a blog post announcing new features on the way and some tips to get the most out of your Photos experience.
Previous Pixel 9-exclusive features will soon be headed to more devices and be easier to find in the app. This includes Auto Frame, which extends the background of a photo, and Reimagine, which regenerates a selected portion of a photo with just a text prompt. But the biggest announcement is that the photo editor itself is getting a huge redesign.
The new editor looks more streamlined and falls in line with Material 3 Expressive, Google's new visual overhaul for Android 16 that's more colorful and animated. Google says Photos will get even smarter over time by, "pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI, unlocking new ways to relive, connect and share memories."

Every month, Google says, 370 million searches are performed, 440 million memories are shared and 210 million photos are edited.
An updated photo editor that's easier to use
The upcoming photo editor redesign put all of the editing tools in the same place for easier access. Other features include new AI suggestions that will combine multiple effects at once to enhance your photos.

$110M Wiped Out: Bitcoin Whale Trader Gets Burned As BTC Tags $104,150
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Pseudonymous crypto trader James Wynn, known for his high-leverage strategies, suffered losses exceeding $110 million after Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) price slipped below key support levels on Friday. Wynn had taken a bold bet on Bitcoin's upward trajectory, opening a massive $830 million long position on May 21, acquiring over 7,700 BTC at roughly $105,000 per coin. By May 24, he had increased his exposure to 11,588 BTC, pushing his position's value to $1.25 billion at an average cost of $108,243.

However, the market turned sharply following U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a 50% tariff on EU exports, pushing Bitcoin below $105,000 and triggering large-scale liquidations of Wynn's leveraged holdings. According to Hypurrscan, Wynn faced a series of painful liquidations: 527 BTC worth $55 million was wiped out at $104,950, followed by another 422 BTC at $104,150, and a final 95.5 BTC at $104,620. In total, 1,044 BTC were liquidated over the week. Wynn expressed frustration over market integrity, posting on X: "I have exposed just how corrupt these markets are. Guess it's better to just buy and hold BTC on spot." Despite the drawdown, Wynn reportedly maintains a remaining long position of 1,591 BTC, worth approximately $167 million, with a high-risk 40x leverage and a liquidation threshold near $104,530.

Review: Kendrick Lamar, SZA bring ‘Grand National Tour' to SF
(KRON) – Kendrick Lamar and SZA gave Oracle Park a performance so electrifying San Franciscans didn't cringe when the headliners referred to the city as 'San Fran'– multiple times. The duo brought their 'Grand National Tour' to SF on Thursday night. Switching off sets, K. Dot (Lamar) and the songstress gave a great balance of both catalogs. The show commenced with a video of the artists on a 1987 Buick GNX, followed by the first track of Lamar's latest album 'GNX' 'Wacced out Murals.' Much of the audience wasn't as familiar with Lamar's records that were not distributed on the radio, but knew most of the lyrics to Mr. Morale's latest album. A Salt Lake City resident told that he and his wife were watching this year's Super Bowl Halftime Show and said, 'We have to see this guy.' The stage artwork and visuals for both artists were intricate and detailed. From hilarious skits of being interviewed with questions about their biggest personal and professional criticisms, to home videos dating back more than 30 years and a glimpse of Mr. Morale's hometown, the visuals were intimate, but told a story. Shakira, Jason Aldean concerts canceled at Boston's Fenway Park over 'structural' issue Despite both SZA and Lamar having completely different album concepts, the overlap of the skits was coherent. The best word to describe SZA's stage set and performance was whimsical. The stage was decked with plants, bugs and fairies. She even straddled a giant fake bug while singing. The songstress performed one of former President Barack Obama's favorite melodies, 'Broken Clocks,' along with her Grammy Award-winning duet with Doja Cat, 'Kiss Me More,' and many more of her hits. 'This arena feels different,' SZA said to the viewers, '… Or is it that San Fran feels different?' The question made the audience cheer louder. The audience's memories quickly transformed from memories of being scorned into thoughts of being madly in love as SZA switched ballads from 'Kill Bill' to 'Snooze.' Her 2022 'SOS' album returned to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart this year, reigning for 13 weeks. Fellow Los Angeles native DJ Mustard joined Lamar on stage for 'TV Off,' where the crowd roared, 'Mustard,' which was almost louder than spectators singing 'a minor' from 'Not Like Us.' Even though the crowd was loudest at those moments, the highlight of the night was the duo performing 'All the Stars.' Fans from atop beamed their lights in unison, illuminating the ballpark. The second-to-last performed song, 'Luther,' was just dethroned as the top song on Billboard, but it hogged the top spot for 13 weeks. 'Gloria' was the final song of the night. The show closed with the two getting back in the boxed old-school Buick and saying goodbye to San Francisco. Las Vegas is the next stop of the tour on Saturday, May 31.
