The photos from your phone, now one click away
April 15, 2014

Unless you’re a budding
Ansel Adams
, odds are you take most of your photos using your phone. And whether it’s photos of your hiking trip or a night out, sending photos to friends and family just got easier. Starting today, you can save time and insert your
Auto Backup
photos from your phone into Gmail messages on the web using the new
Insert Photo
button.
When you click the button, you'll instantly access all the photos that are backed up from your mobile devices, starting with the most recent.
If you upload and organize your photos into albums on
Google Photos
, you can also share entire albums. Plus, you can now resize images while composing messages by dragging on any corner to make your snapshot picture perfect.
These new features will be rolling out today in Gmail on the web. If you haven’t already,
turn on Auto Backup
so you can easily include photos from your latest adventures in emails to family and friends.
