Google Gallery Go Hits 100 Million Installs

Does everyone need all the power of Google Photos? It seems no. A good local gallery with no cloud features and low system requirements grows sensationally popular. And recently it hit 100 million downloads, despite many Android phones come with a more advanced Google Photos app. Why? 

The reason seems obvious. Gallery Go is all you need if all you want is to see pics made with your camera or saved to your device from websites and messengers. It has all it takes to sort your pictures by categories, and though it’s able to handle videos, it puts them in a separate box. Isn’t that what you want when you want to find a certain pic or video? It’s the perfect pick if you want to experience the modern Google Photos pictures (except for access to Google Drive) on an old device. Or on a new one, if you want it faster and lighter than the monstrous main app. 

In addition, it’s extremely lightweight and does not need access to the Internet to function. Being a part of Android Go project, developed to enable low-end devices to do most jobs of the flagship models, Gallery Go is installable on virtually any Android phone or tablet. And many users benefit from it: its popularity doubled during the recent six months, way more than sales of Android Go phones would provide.
