Summary

  • Aura has announced that its digital photo frames will continue to auto-sync with Google Photos, despite previously saying that the feature would be removed as a result of changes to the Google Photos API.
  • The company has said that it is working with Google to maintain the auto-sync feature and that users will not need to take any action, with further information to be announced at a later date.
  • Aura’s digital photo frames can be gifted to view shared photos privately, for example to allow grandparents to see pictures of their grandchildren remotely.
  • The change to the Google Photos API is designed to improve user privacy, preventing apps from accessing a user’s entire photo library.
  • It is still set to come into effect on March 31, meaning that other companies, such as Cozyla, may also need to make changes to the way that their products interact with Google Photos in the future.
