Google Photos update brings AirPlay support to iOS

Google has just released a new update for its Photos app for iOS users. The new update with version number 2.14, is said to introduce AirPlay functionality. This means owners of an Apple TV can now stream pictures and videos directly from the Google Photos app to their big screen.Prior to this update, iOS users were forced to view their content on TV by using third-party apps. While the Google Photos app has seen a variety of updates in the past, with features including video stabilisation, content-aware filters and visual search among others. But why Google took so long to bring AirPlay support is still not clear.The new update also comes with the usual set of performance improvements as well as bug fixes. Having a size of 165 MB, the app can be downloaded from the iOS App Store.Recently, we saw Google announcing the launch of a new product, PhotoScan, which helps in scanning and digitising your old photographs. The new product is powered by Google Photos and ensures that the old photos scanned by PhotoScan will be clear and glare-free, which usually happens when we try taking images of old photographs using a smartphone.
