Photo Stacks will put together photographs that have a similar appearance.
Google Photos is releasing two AI-powered capabilities to help you manage all of your family photos and screenshots in your disorganized profile.
Moving forward, the service will be able to recognize images “that were taken close together” and then aggregate them into what Google refers to as Photo Stacks. The AI appears to operate by choosing photographs that have visual similarities. The software will not select images with a different composition or topic matter. After you’ve made your picks, Google Photos will choose one of them to be the lead image. Of course, you may manually select the lead, “modify the stacks,” or “turn off” the feature entirely.
Filtering up screenshots
Google Photos will do something similar for “screenshots and documents in your gallery” by categorizing them automatically “into more helpful albums.” There will be an album for photographs of your ID card and receipts, as well as an album for “event information” such as an impending concert or festival. The idea here is to make it easy to find “what you need when you need it without having” to sift through a jumble of photos.
You can also use the AI to set reminders on your phone calendar using information from a screenshot of a ticket or “flyer for an upcoming event.” As an example, suppose you grabbed a screenshot of a ticket to a concert on December 2. In Google Photos, there is a “Set Reminder” option at the bottom of the image. When you tap it, a calendar entry appears where you may input more information or update it. According to the firm, you may select to “automatically archive your screenshots… after 30 days,” which would remove them from the main gallery. They are still available in their respective albums.
According to the statement, the Google Photos upgrade is currently being rolled out to Android and iOS users. Keep an eye out for the patch whenever it arrives. There is no word on whether a PC version will be released, though we have asked Google for more information. If we receive a response, we will update this report.
