Overview

  • Gemini AI now integrates with Google Photos on Android, enabling users to search for and analyze images using natural language prompts such as 'Show my photos from last summer.'
  • This phased rollout allows users to connect the Gemini app to Google Photos and access features like tapping found images to open them in Google Photos or dragging and dropping them into other apps.
  • The integration builds on the 'Ask Photos' feature announced at Google I/O 2024, reflecting Google's broader strategy to embed AI across its ecosystem.
  • Google Photos has recently introduced dark mode for its web version, enhancing accessibility and user experience.
