Google Photos is letting some users clean up their cloud storage with a Tinder-style interface.

Users can swipe left to delete large files and blurry photos or swipe right to keep them.

This seems to be a limited release for now, and there’s seemingly no way to activate it.

Google Photos offers a few ways to claw back cloud storage. One option available in the app is the ability to review and delete blurry photos and large files. Now, it looks like Google could spice up this process.
