Good news forGooglePhotos users: many of the changes to Memories that Googleannounceda few weeks back are rolling out to the appright now, delivering a dramatically improved experience in that part of the app.
What’s new in Google Photos Memories
The Memories interface has been redesigned to show you more videos, including the best bits from your longer clips thanks to Photos' automatic selection and trimming. There’s a new, subtle zoom on static images that makes them feel more alive, and from October there will also be instrumental music that can turn your hilarious holiday snaps into a tear-jerker.
One of the things that really bugs me about memories in other apps, and I’m giving Facebook a hard stare here, is that their selection of things you might want to remember often includes things you really don’t want to remember – from events that make you sad to people that you find annoying. So it’s good to see that Google Photos retains the ability to hide photos of specific people, and to exclude certain time periods from the Memories feature.
