Google has announced that it is removing the private photo management service built into the Google+ social network. You will still be able to post photos and videos to Google+. And your Google+ followers will still be able to +1 and comment those photos and videos. But the ability to backup, edit, share and manage private albums on Google+ Photos will be replaced by Google Photos. The photos, videos and albums that you have already posted on Google+, including the posts, comments and +1s will remain in the “Photos” tab of your profile page.
Why is Google removing the private photo management features from the Google+ social network? Anil Sabharwal, the director of Google Photos, said that it is confusing to users why there are two offerings that “virtually do the same thing.” Running Google+ Photos and Google Photos as separate services also meant that the photos team at Google had to divide its focus instead of working on a “single, great user experience.”
