  • Google Photos is introducing a new tool to flip images horizontally, located in the Crop section of the editing tools.
  • The feature is rolling out to select users, possibly through a server-side update, with full availability expected soon.
  • This tool complements existing editing features like rotate, resize, and aspect ratio adjustments.

Google Photos is finally adding a new button that allows you to flip images horizontally. This tiny addition can be found in the Crop section of the Editing tools within the Google Photos app and was spotted by a Telegram user (via Mishaal Rahman).
