Google has rolled out a new update for its Photos application aimed at the tablet users. The new update brings a better optimisation for larger screen sizes of tablet devices. The older iteration was identical to the one available on smartphones.

With the latest update, the optimised interface brings a top bar with a search field. According to 9to5Google, the position will depend on the size of the tablet. For instance, on tablets with smaller or mid-size screens, it will appear next to the profile image along with Cast icon.
