Google Photos could soon get a surprising third-party integration (APK teardown)

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.
