say you're at home hanging out with the family talking about that epic day you had at the scary skate park you quickly pull up the photos and videos but then what your phone gets passed around and where everyone Huddle's around your small screen but no one can actually see or hear meanwhile your TV is sitting 10 feet away turned off almost as if it's mocking you well no more we're bringing chromecast to photos let's take a look here again we have my phone and on this side we have a TV connected to cast the photos app is detected that a cast device is nearby so we'll just tap the button select the device and you'll see we're ready to go when I tap into a photo it immediately shows up on the TV I can swipe through my photos and videos and they will automatically update on the big screen I can even cast an animated gif let's say I want to find a different photo to cast on my phone I can leave the fullscreen view scrub through my library zoom out I can look at my albums I can even do a search notice this whole time the last photo I casted is still up on the big screen for everyone to look at even though I'm navigating my library unlike mirroring this lets me control which photos and videos I cast so you don't have to worry about sharing your screen while you're searching your library for that next photo what if your photos and videos haven't yet been backed up no problem if we go to the top of my library you'll see a few photos I took this morning and if you notice the cloud with the slash through them this is designating that these photos haven't yet been backed up to my Google Photos account they're purely local to the device but I can still cast them chromecast and photos is rolling out this week on Android and very soon to iOS you
