• Unless there are mapping issues, the full set of burst photos will be placed in a stack in Google Photos.
• It isn’t yet known if or when other Android phone brands will benefit from the update.

A new update to Android Switch aims to make the transition from iOS to Android devices smoother for users who enjoy taking burst photos.
