2 days ago Google Photos it has been 1 year since its official launch, and Google wanted to mark the moment with an article in which they talk about some of the achievements of their photo and video sharing service.
Google Photos managed to gather 200 million monthly active users 1 year after the official launch, over 24 billion selfies being shared through its servers, the figure being impressive, regardless of the service.
13.7 petabytes of data were stored in Google's servers by the users who use the service and 2000 billion tags were applied to the pictures uploaded to the system, those from Google really have something to brag about when it comes to Google Photos.
Google tried to create a photo storage service that could compete with others available online and to a good extent it succeeded, although many people criticized what the American company offers, even if everything is available for free to users.
A year ago, we introduced Google Photos with one mission: To be a home for all your photos and videos, organized and brought to life, so that you can share and save what matters.
Now 200 million of you are using Google Photos each month. We've delivered more than 1.6 billion animations, collages and movies, among other things. You've collectively freed up 13.7 petabytes of storage on your devices—it would take 424 years to swipe through that many photos! We've also applied 2 trillion labels, and 24 billion of those have been for ... selfies.
