At Google's Tuesday Nexus 5X/6P event, the company took the opportunity to announce tweaks and bonuses to a few of its apps. Of particular note is the company's Play Music service offering its own "family plan" catch-up to that of Apple Music.

Starting "later this year," the service will offer a $14.99 per month plan for up to six users, and each user will receive his or her own tailored recommendations based on personal playback history.

The Google Photos app will also receive a range of updates starting "this week" and continuing through the rest of this year for its sharing and casting options. The biggest change, "shared albums," will allow Google Photos users across both Android and iOS to share and contribute to photo albums with each other. These appear to work in the form of sending HTML links which, upon opening, immediately invite the new user and open sharing permissions.
