Even if it did show up, I like to review the photos full-screen and flip back and forth, then delete. Having to remember which of 5 shots was the best and select the bad ones in thumbnail view would just be painful. I think mine is a fairly common workflow too, as I've heard a few people complain about the same thing.
I just tested on Android with the latest build and I get a trash icon in the expected places - in the bottom right corner in the single photo view and in the top right corner in the thumbnail view (once at least one photo is selected).
BTW, I work on the photos team.
There are geo-tagging feature in the new app: * For any photo you can click on the "info" icon (i with a circle around it) which will show the photo's location (if we have geo information for the photo) * The search functionality makes use of geo-tagging information - so you can search for photos from a specific place.
Is that what you were looking for, or is there something else?
I can't really comment on what might or might not happen in the future, but I can pass on requests/comments to our PMs and/or help you out with the application.
According to Google Play Store I have the latest version of Photos (I see all the other changes, including the welcome walkthrough).
I don't get a trash icon in either photo or thumbnail view, with 0, 1 or more photos selected.
I'm not singed in on the Photos app (I wasn't signed in on the old app either) as I'm not entirely comfortable on the dependence on web services or the auto upload features (which I do appreciate can be disabled). I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
Honestly, the old Gallery app was perfect for my workflow. Offline, gave me access to metadata, etc.
It's frustrating as I have to click the menu button, then Delete, then OK. I used to just hit Trash icon and that was it. For one-off deletions it's only a little slower - for working through a days worth of shots (or worse, high speed drive shots transferred from my camera).
