Google is reportedly bringing new features to its Google Photos app to help users edit their photos in hassle-free ways. According to a recent APK teardown by tech publication Android Authority, the existing Spotlights feature has been renamed as Presets on Google Photos version 6.97 on Android devices. The Presets feature might provide four video editing tools. 

The four editing tools are expected to include basic cut, slow-mo, zoom and track. Here is a closer look at the features:

Android Authority further reported that users might be able to modify the time limit of the edits while applying them with the help of a slide. However, presently the users cannot export a video which features the four tools at the same time. The users are only allowed to export a video featuring one tool along with basic edits. This limitation might change in future.

Apart from renaming the Spotlights to presets, Google Photos is reportedly set to launch a new feature which will allow users to block or hide some people that they do not want to see. This feature will enable users to hide a person's image from appearing in the Google Memories tab without the need to delete their pictures from the phone.
