Google has seeded out an update to Google Photos app for Android, and has made some changes to Photos' Web client to make them even more enticing to use. Chief among the host of these tiny little changes is the ability to tell Google when an image was taken.

Google Photos users will also be able to rearrange the order in which images appear in an album. Until now, the Google Photos app didn't allow users to decide how they wanted to place the images as it automatically arranged them using a predetermined algorithm. You can now rearrange the images by clicking the edit button on the top right corner.
