  • Google Photos is testing a CapCut button to help users edit Memories in the ByteDance-owned app.
  • We spotted and were able to surface the button while conducting an APK teardown of the Google Photos Android app.
  • The button only appears for Memories made up of photos and does not show up for a video-only memory.

In a rather surprising move, Google seems to be quietly testing a new third-party integration in its Photos app, the likes of which we’ve never seen before. It’s extremely rare for Google to promote a third-party app within its own app, especially one owned by a company under scrutiny in several regions, including the US, but that’s exactly what may be happening.
