If you’re a regular user of otos ( if you’re not, you should be), don’t freak out if things are arranged a little differently when you fire up the app today. A new update rolling out to users brings some interface layout tweaks, but the most interesting stuff is hidden deep in the code.

The visual changes are pretty easy to spot. en you head into the bums tab, you’ll see more of your photos at a glance. Instead of giant images for the albums you’ve created, there’s a new otos on device section at the top, which collects the pictures or screenshots you’ve taken with your phone. Under that you’ll find any albums you’ve created, also organized in a row of small boxes. The oto on device page has also been tweaked to show more on a single screen.

But thanks to Android lice’s customary teardown, we have some details on what is planning for future updates to otos. The first is a feature called auto-stories, which will be added under the Create new menu. Android lice’s educated guess is that the feature will allow you to add custom parameters to ’s automatic album creation, letting you determine which sets of photos get chosen, based on “location maps, dates, groups of related photos, hashtags, whatever other clever bits may be appropriate.”

Additionally, it appears as though is looking to implement its Nearby feature into otos. The current incarnation allows developers to create features based on proximity to a specific place, we can see it in things like the directories that pop up on our phones when enter a store. Most likely, it would be a easy way to share pictures with the people around us, but the feature could also alert us to picturesque spots or nearby memories that we might have forgotten.

The update should be rolling out to most phones today, but if you’re not seeing it you can sideload the -signed A from AMirror.

The big picture: otos is one of the best apps on our phone, it’s great to see devoting so much attention to it. ile the interface tweaks in the latest update are relatively minor, it shows that is constantly rethinking the ways we interact with the pictures on our phone, making it easier to find, share, organize them only makes otos greater. But it’s the future features that are most exciting. ’ve long wanted a way to control how Assistant decides which photos are worthy of an automatic album, it looks like we’ll be able to do that soon.
