Google never announced that it added a new feature to its “Photos” app; so, when a Reddit user discovered the new feature, it came as a surprise to many people who also tried it, and it worked.

Google Photos Pinch to Zoom Feature

Some days ago, a Reddit user, WimpyDude, announced that he was playing back a video using the Google Photos app and accidentally double-tapped his screen; immediately, the video zoomed in. A couple of other Reddit users went on to try it out on their device, and it worked too. Does this imply that Google secretly integrated a new feature on its Photos app without letting anyone know?

Availability

The feature is not yet out for all users as some people still can’t zoom in while playing a video with the Photos app. It seems to a server-based update that is yet to roll-out officially. At the moment, only select users can enjoy the pinch-to-zoom feature that seems to be rolling out to the Google Photos app.
