Before going ahead, users must update their Google Photo application. In some regions, you will get upgrade reminder automatically on your phone screen. Just tap the 'update the app' notification.

You can also manually update the app, by going to Google Play store, type-in Google Photos, there you will get 'UPDATE' button in the right corner. Tap the 'UPDATE' key and you are good to go.
[Note: Follow the same procedure for Apple iOS app and Desktop versions]

Once updated, open the Google Photos app will not only correct exposure and saturation, it'll also automatically fix the white balance in the image.

And, if he/she want to tweak it even more, can just go into Color and adjust the 'Warmth' and 'Tint' slider bars.
