Google has added a new feature in Google Photos called Memories which is aimed at helping out users take a look at the old photos that they have clicked in the past. This feature looks similar to Stories from Instagram or Snapchat except that in this, the photos will help you take a trip down the memory lane.
In this new feature, the images which get displayed are the ones that were taken during the same period one year, two years, three years or more years ago.
In a blog post, the technology giant has said that it is using machine learning for curating the photos which appear on Memories. this new feature can also be hidden from certain people or time periods. Users will also get an option to turn off this feature entirely if they wish to do so.
Apart from this, the technology giant is also allowing the users to order prints which can either get picked up or home-delivered. The service has rolled out to the users across the US.
“You can already use Google Photos to quickly find and make your memories into a photo book. Now, you can use the same time-saving magic to print individual photos,” Shimrit Ben-Yair, Director, Google Photos wrote on the blog.
