I've never realised I really missed this feature! Hopefully it would be released in not too long.

I don't understand this feature...

"Photo stacks automatically groups similar photos that were taken together." So basically it creates a stack of similar photos in your main "Photos" tab. This can help you in keeping your main feed clutter free."

I read the article, but I don't understand it... Meaning I don't see what the value is.

If it's only capable of merging two similar photos, isn't it just a duplicate detector or something?

I can see it being useful, but it needs more than just two photos.

Edit:

They updated the article to show more than 2 photos stacked on their Telegram channel.

Update to the article says they were wrong to think it only stacked 2 photos.
