About Google Photos
Google Photos is a photography app from Google LLC that gives you a single place to keep and browse your pictures. This listing covers the build identified as com.google.android.apps.photos, and the content rating alongside it has not been stated. Below is what the release details tell you about the app, its footprint and the devices it targets.
Which version is listed here
The build presented on this page is 7.96.0.993165104, released 2026-10-07. It arrives as one package of 222.3 MB, so this is a substantial download rather than a small add-on. Recording the exact version string is useful when you want to confirm which build is sitting on your device, since a plain name alone will not tell you that.
Device compatibility
The build requires Android 7.0+ or newer. Handsets already running that level or a later release should accept the package without trouble, while phones on an older system will need an update before installation. As with any large photography app, keeping your system current also helps the build behave as its developer intends.
Where it fits in photography
Listed under the photography category, the app is filed with software whose subject matter is pictures rather than games, finance or productivity tools. The identifier com.google.android.apps.photos links it directly to Google LLC, the developer credited for this release, which makes it easy to confirm that the package you are looking at matches the publisher shown in the listing.
Planning the download
The file size is 222.3 MB, and that figure describes the download itself, not necessarily the space the app will occupy once it is unpacked and running. It is sensible to leave some headroom on your device so the transfer and installation finish cleanly, and to check your remaining storage before you begin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which version does this listing provide?
The listed build is 7.96.0.993165104, released 2026-10-07. It is a single package of 222.3 MB published by Google LLC. If you already have Google Photos on your device, comparing your installed version string with this one shows whether you are running the same build or something older.
Will the app install on my phone?
The compatibility requirement is stated once on this page: your device must run that Android level or anything newer. Systems below the listed requirement will refuse the package until the phone is updated. Newer devices than the requirement are fine, and since the file is large, it is worth confirming your device qualifies before starting the download.
How much storage should I set aside?
The download is 222.3 MB. That figure covers the file you receive; the installed app and its data will take additional room afterwards. If your device is close to full, clearing some space first avoids an installation that stops partway through. The size has not changed between listings, so treat 222.3 MB as the figure to plan around.
What is the exact package name?
The package is com.google.android.apps.photos. Quoting it precisely matters when you check an installed app or search for details elsewhere, because near-identical names can belong to completely different software. This identifier is the one tied to Google LLC, the developer listed for this photography app, and it is what your device uses to recognise the build.
What content rating does the listing carry?
The content rating for this listing is unknown; no age classification has been published alongside the version and size information. If an official rating matters for your household, you may want to look over the app yourself before letting a younger person use it, since the listing gives you nothing to go on in that respect.
