American tech giant Google rolling out a new People & Pets widget for Memories on Android.
The features start when users tap on the widget, it will take them to the Photos app to view more photos and videos.
“With the Google Photos Memories widget on Android and iOS, user can see their Memories right on their phone’s home screen, so they can relive moments as they use their phone throughout the day,” it said in a blog post.
It will also be rolling out an update to Cinematic photos, which were first launched a year ago, reported by The Hindu Newspaper.
“These fun creations use machine learning to produce a video of the moment in 3D so that the user can experience your photos more vividly. Now we’re improving Cinematic photos to make them come to life in a new way,” it said.
“Machine learning fills in parts of the background behind the subject, allowing the virtual camera to move more freely as it finds the best framing to bring attention to your subject — sort of like a movie director for your photos.”
Additionally, it also began rolling out event Memories which lets users explore photos and videos from specific events such as New Year’s Eve, Halloween, birthdays, graduations, etc.
In addition to viewing Memories in the Google Photos app on a phone or tablet, users can also access them on the Nest Hub by heading on to the “Your day” tab.
“And while the holidays and approaching new year can be a nostalgic time, we know not all memories are worth revisiting. As a reminder, you can always use the existing Google Photos controls to hide photos of certain people, pets or periods so you can relive the moments you want to,” it said.
