I am always trying to convince everyone to download it. It's a must have app and it should be included on every smartphone.

I hate all the Google Home and "suggestions" stuff it creeps me the hell out but Shared Library is a pretty cool feature.

That's a good point.
I do think that a lot of the features that Google introduces into one app are instances of trying to push that feature for more apps later. For instance, when Allo came out last year, nobody wanted another chat app that duplicates a lot of features from other chat apps that Google releases. But, Allo ended up being the beta program for Google Assistant, which 6 months later was released as the backbone of the Pixel and Google's future products (home, etc).
They'll debut a lot of features in one app, only to use that app as a testing ground for them implementing them in different ways across other apps.
I really don't know why it took me until a minute ago to replace the default iOS photos app on my homescreen with good photos. It's so much better. Just being able to type me on the beach and it brings up all beach photos of me is awesome. I remember when I was trying to remember when I bought something and I just typed what it was in and it found it for me instead of digging all the way back.

Like how people wish you Happy Birthday because Facebook reminds them and not because they actually remembered your birthday?

Google Photos is already awesome, and so these features are nice but aren't major changers like the stuff from last year.
The Lens stuff is probably going to be the biggest change for me. I've been using Google Photos for receipts and important stuff, and then I individually categorize them... but I'd like to not have to do that.

I don't have that. Maybe it's US only? Bummer.
It's almost like you have options.
Y'all get healthcare, we get Google stuff.
Not available in EU at least.
Who needs healthcare when you can just Google your symptoms?
Yeah except it doesn't just remind them, it writes a response.

Hmmm, good point.
Google says I have 15 types of cancer.
Well that explains it... bummer.

I definitely have access to this in the UK. But yeah Google has a habit of blocking stuff like this randomly.
