Summary
Google Photos 7.97 is widely rolling out a redesigned Collections tab on Android that lets users customize which sections appear and how they are ordered.
The new layout replaces the old fixed 2×2 shortcut grid with a “Pinned” section; by default it shows Favorites, Screenshots and Trash, and users can remove it entirely.
Separate carousels now group On this device, Albums, People & pets, Wardrobe, Places and Documents, while “View all” jumps to full grid or list views.
An “Other Collections” grid includes 10 items—such as Moments, Videos, Recently Added, Archive, Locked and Trash—with the “Reorder” control placed at the bottom.
