Google is rolling out a big update to its Photos app, calling it the biggest update for Memories since the feature’s inception in 2020. Google adds that Memories is hugely popular, getting over 3.5 billion views per month.
Memories have been redesigned to be more dynamic. A great deal of attention has been placed on videos and Photos now preselect longer video snippets to show you. Still images in Memories are now more immersive thanks to a subtle automatic zoom in or out. Plus, you can now share a memory with another Photos user. The option to share a Memory via a web link and on iOS will be available soon.
Google notes that you can still choose to omit photos of certain people or time periods from your Memories.
Another way your memories will be more dynamic is through cinematic photos – Google Photos generates a moving 3D model of your image and renders full end-to-end videos with cinematic photos.
A very popular feature is the new Collage Editor. You can finally edit your collages with different grids, move photos, and even choose a background, Google calls it Styles, with different designs at launch.
The update should come to users gradually.
