Google Photos has been working on a “My Week” feature that would allow users to share highlights of their week with invitees.
The co-founder of the photo-sharing app Retro has pointed out the similarities between Googles feature and its own app.

Back in January (https://www.androidauthority.com/google-photos-my-week-3409813/), Android Authority discovered a new feature the Google Photos team appeared to be working on called “My Week.” Just a few days ago, we managed to enable the feature, allowing us to give our readers an early look (https://www.androidauthority.com/google-photos-my-week-first-look-apk-teardown-3459310/) at how it might work. Now photo-sharing app Retro is pointing out similarities between its app and Googles new feature.

Although its not live yet, our APK teardowns have told us My Week is a Google Photos feature that lets users share weekly memories with friends and family privately. Its an invite-only feature, so the user can choose exactly who they want to share their pictures with. The point is to keep friends and family up-to-date with your life by automatically sending memories to them on a weekly basis.
