You’ll soon see your photos and videos in automatically created collections with names that match the mood and theme of your memories.
Google Photos is getting a new way to showcase your memories with a dedicated tab for auto-generated collections of pictures. These collections will be backed by generative AI for caption generation.
The app will now have a Memories button at the bottom, where you can see automatically created collections of your photos and videos. These collections, which used to appear at the top of the app, will also have more fun and descriptive names thanks to a new generative AI feature. The Memories button seems to replace the Sharing button that sits at the bottom currently.
The new feature, called “help me title”, uses generative AI to make up names based on the image contents. You can also give a “hint” to the AI to guide it towards the title you want. For example, if you have a collection of photos from a trip to Paris, you can give a hint like “romantic” or “adventure” and get titles like “A Romantic Getaway in Paris” or “An Adventure in the City of Lights”.

The new Memories tab is rolling out today in the US and will be available worldwide in the coming months. Google says it will also add video export options for Memories later, so you can easily share them on other platforms.
If you are an Apple user and this feature sounds familiar, that’s because it is – memories works similarly to Apple’s Photos app “For You” feature that offers custom slideshows.
Following the I/O event in May, which was particularly important for Google given the strides made in AI over the past year, the company has been busy plugging generative AI in its products. The announcement about the new memories tab comes days after Google launched a new AI-powered translation feature for Gmail.
