We're all familiar with this Google photo management tool. However, alongside its storage and backup features, Google Photos 3.9 now allows using third-party editing apps to edit and enhance images within the app.
This release mainly focuses on bug fixes and tweaks in the app's text. As usual, to download and install the latest version of Google Photos, you can get the newest app here.

Another way to access different photo editing tools
If you've ever used the Google Photos app to edit photos, you've probably tried the built-in photo editor. Google Photos' photo editor comes with all the basic tools you need to crop, rotate, and adjust colors through basic filters.
However, for more complex editing tasks, the Google Photos app may not suffice, prompting the need for an external photo editor. Google Photos has added an 'Edit in' command to the tool menu. However, the latest update also adds a new Edit in button, integrated within the photo editor itself, performing the same function.
This new button is located on the right side of the photo editor window, resembling the old App Drawer icon. After editing the photo, the new button also provides options to save changes before proceeding.
Assuming you don't open the original photo in an external photo editing app, there's no need to copy what you've done or changed on the photo. The button and command in this menu will work and change similarly.
There are many reasons to explain why this new feature is integrated into the latest Google Photos update; it could be a step towards making it easier to open another photo editing app. However, the key point is that the button's placement is not appropriate.
It could be hypothesized that this button is added to handle specific scenarios of some third-party app, to open the Photos photo editor and bypass the viewer screen. This way, users can still switch to a third-party photo editing app.
The difference between the button and the Edit command is that the two commands operate on different share dialogs.
The Edit command in the overflow menu (on the left side) works by displaying each share with custom names defined by developers. The new Edit button in Google Photo 3.9 (on the right side) only shows the recipient's name, which is why there are 3 duplicate entries, each entry is a different input.
Remove Notification Switcher
In addition to adding the button to edit photos from other apps, Google Photos 3.9 update also includes some other minor changes.
If you're using Android 8.0 Oreo, the notification switcher named 'notify on this device' has been removed from the notification settings screen in the Google Photos 3.9 update. Essentially, this switcher is redundant, but on previous Android versions, users could still find the switcher.
