Google is currently testing a new feature in Google Photos that could change how deleted photos and videos are managed. The recent discovery in the Google Photos Android app suggests that Google is experimenting with a new approach to deleting and potentially recovering images.
Reportedly, the code within version 6.79.0.624777117 of the app hints at a new 'configurable' trash feature, which could allow users to adjust the time frame for permanently deleting photos or videos. Currently, when a user deletes an image, it is moved to the trash where it stays for 60 days before being permanently removed. During this period, users can retrieve their deleted items and restore them to their library.
