Google Photos is set to introduce a 'storage saver' feature for its Android app, as reported by @nexusben, aimed at helping users conserve cloud storage space by converting photos to a format that occupies less space and reduces the quality of data. This update will allow Android users to pick a familiar space-saving feature, mirroring a similar option already available on the web version of Google Photos. The move is part of Google's efforts to enhance user experience by providing options to manage storage efficiently. However, there have been concerns raised about the functionality of Google Images on Android, with reports indicating that the app may misleadingly indicate images have been saved when they are not accessible on the device.
