It used to be easy to tell which photos you took on a certain day in Google Photos. I didn’t realize how much I appreciated those little visual gaps breaking up time until a new update removed them, smashburgering my photos and videos, in favor of a persistent bar hovering at the top of the screen. Thankfully, you can reinsert them by clicking the three vertical dots to the right of that floating bar, then select “Show dates in grid.” [Image: https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/07/Screenshot_20260717-131428.png?quality=90&strip=all]
