Memories Come Alive in Google Photos AI Redesign | | | | Turtles AI

  #Google #Photos introduces a renewed #Memories view, a new home for curated special moments. AI surfaces important photos and videos into narrative memories. Customizable scrapbook timeline aims to help users relive trips, celebrations, and everyday #life. Google recently introduced a new feature for Memories view in its Google Photos app, according to an announcement by senior product manager Brandon Im. This new feature aims to provide users with an organized, scrapbook-like timeline of their most meaningful photos and videos, curated automatically using AI. The Memories view shows users' important moments over time, including trips, celebrations, and everyday life. It surfaces old photos users may have forgotten about and organizes them into narrative "memories." The Memories view is located in the navigation menu at the bottom of the Photos app. Im explained that the impetus behind Memories view is that people's phones are filled with a mix of meaningful moments and forgettable clutter. Features like Memories have proven popular, with over 500 million monthly users, but they needed a dedicated home. Memories view has customization options, so users can remove photos, rename auto-generated titles, and add their own memories. An experimental "Help me title" feature powered by generative AI provides suggested memory names that users can edit. This aims to capture the meaning of special moments. Users will also be able to collaborate on shared memories. They can invite others to contribute their photos to fill in gaps. Shared memories can be saved for later viewing. In the future, memories will be shareable as videos to social media. The Memories view is launching first in the US and will expand globally in the coming months. Im said it gives users more control over looking back on their most meaningful photos and videos. Highlights:

• New Memories view in Google Photos organizes special moments into narrative timeline
• AI automatically surfaces important photos and videos users may have forgotten
• Users can customize memories, collaborate with others, and share as videos
• Scrapbook-style aim is to relive and rediscover meaningful moments
• Rolling out first in US, expanding globally in coming months

  The reimagined Memories view looks like an excellent revamp that realizes Photos' potential. It seems tailored to how people actually revisit their meaningful moments - by reminiscing over trips, celebrations, and everyday slices of life. Google made smart choices in enabling collaboration and shareable videos. I'm excited to see AI suggestions improve over time with user feedback. What features would you find most useful? How do you think this will change how you rediscover photos? I'm keen to hear your thoughts on the updates.
