What's a 'bug fix'?

Software, like the Google Photos app, is incredibly complex. Sometimes, despite rigorous testing, small errors or 'bugs' creep in, causing features to malfunction, like the drag-to-select tool. A 'bug fix' is simply an update released by developers to correct these errors, restoring the software to its intended functionality.
