One of the biggest obstacles to taking a good group picture is getting everyone to look at the camera perfectly when the shot is being taken. This problem is compounded when multiple people are taking the same shot with their own phones. It is very common to end up with a shot where people are not directly looking into the camera or have their eyes closed. The new Google Pixel 8 Series gets around this issue with a bit of software magic. In this article, we show you how to use the Best Take feature in the Google Photos app on your new Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
