This is the arm64-v8a build of Google Photos 7.44.0.803164237 — the modern 64-bit ARM build that runs on virtually every Android phone released since 2017. It's smaller and faster than the universal variant because Android only loads the native code your CPU actually needs. If your phone is from the last 8 years, this is the right pick.

What's New

We are introducing a new storage management tool to help you easily manage the photos that count toward your storage quota. This tool will surface photos or videos you might want to delete — like blurry photos, screenshots and large videos.

App Description

Google Photos is the home for all your photos and videos. Easily back up, edit, organize, and search your memories with the help of Google AI.

• 15 GB OF CLOUD STORAGE: Every Google account gets 15 GB of storage at no cost*, 3X more than many other cloud storage services. So you can backup and keep your memories safe automatically on all of your devices.

• AI-POWERED EDITING TOOLS: Make complex edits in just a few taps. Remove unwanted distractions with Magic Eraser. Improve out-of-focus blurry photos with Unblur. Enhance lighting and brightness with Portrait Light.

• CREATE WITH GOOGLE PHOTOS: Play with AI-powered tools to create content. Remix lets you bring your pictures to life transforming them into fun, unique styles, while Photo to video animates your photos, turning static memories into moving videos.

• SEARCH MADE SIMPLE: No more endless scrolling. Ask Photos helps you quickly find what you're looking for, from simple searches like dogs to complex searches such as what's my recipe for pine nut lemon rice?

• EASY ORGANIZATION: Google Photos helps declutter your gallery by automatically organizing duplicates and similar photos into Photo Stacks. It also offers smart, intuitive folders for screenshots, documents, custom albums and daily camera roll organization, making your gallery feel orderly and personalized. You can even save sensitive photos and videos to a locked folder protected by your device screen lock.

• RELIVE AND SHARE YOUR FAVORITE MEMORIES: Stroll down memory lane right in Google Photos. Share photos, videos, and albums with any of your contacts — even if they don't use Google Photos.

• ALL YOUR MEMORIES IN ONE PLACE: With backup on, you can easily transfer your photos from other apps, galleries and devices, so all of your content is in one place

• YOUR MEMORIES ARE SAFE: Your photos and videos are safe and secure from the instant you store them, protected by our advanced security infrastructure while in storage or when you share them.

• FREE UP SPACE: Never worry about running out of space on your phone again. Photos that are backed up in Google Photos can be removed from your device’s storage in just a tap.

• PRINT YOUR FAVORITE MOMENTS:

From your phone, to your home. Turn your favorite memories into photo books, photo prints, canvas wall art and more. Price varies by product.

• GOOGLE LENS: Search what you see. This preview enables you to identify text and objects in your photos to learn more and take action.

Frequently Asked Questions about Google Photos APK

This variant is built for 64-bit ARM (most Android phones made since 2017). If your device's CPU matches, this is the smallest, fastest version to install.

Yes — the APK's signature has been cryptographically verified against the publisher's signing key. The SHA-256 hash is shown in the File Information panel so you can independently confirm the file matches the original release.

Android 23 (API level 36) or newer. Older devices will refuse the install.

Install a free app like 'CPU-Z' or 'Droid Hardware Info' from the Play Store and look at the ABI / Instruction Set row. Most phones made after 2017 are arm64-v8a; if in doubt, download the universal variant.

All variants are functionally identical — same features, same version. They differ only in which CPU architectures the native code is compiled for, and (sometimes) which screen densities the included graphics target. Pick the one that matches your device for the smallest install size, or pick 'Universal' if you're unsure.
