Latest Google Photos update brings new delete confirmation notification (but why?)

Looks like Google has more time to add minor updates to its Photos app, rather then fixing the bugs plaguing it. Case in point: a new notification has been added that requests for user confirmation before deleting or moving pictures to trash.

As was the case earlier, after deleting the image, an undo notification (like the one shown below) appears for a while, in case one wishes to reverse the course of action.

It’s possible that the latter was not available to all users and with this latest change Google is trying to bring uniformity as far as this functionality is concerned.
