Google is in the process of rolling out a new update, which adds a “Save to Photos” button for Gmail attachments. What this button basically does is when you get a photo attachment in a Gmail message, you will be able to save it directly to Google Photos by pressing this button.
At present, you only get two options in a Gmail message i.e. either you store the attached photos in your device’s storage or you can directly add them to Google Drive. The Gmail attachments appear after the body of a message. The new “Save to Photos” button will appear next to the existing “Add to Drive” button on the attachment and while previewing the image attachment.
It is important to understand that this feature is currently available for only JPEG images. “This new feature frees you from having to download photo attachments from Gmail messages in order to then manually back them up to Google Photos,” the company made it clear in its blog post.
Google is rolling out this feature for all the Google Workspace customers and also for those who have personal accounts. The software giant has already started pushing out the new “Save to Photos” feature and users would be able to use it in the next 15 days or so. It will likely be available for both mobile as well as web version.
The company also recently added the ability to access Chat messages from Gmail. This feature is available for both iOS as well as Android users. Users will now get access to four tabs in Gmail, i.e. ‘Mail,’ ‘Chat,’ ‘Rooms,’ and ‘Meet.’
