Google Photos launches its own Instagram Stories: Memories

Snapchat's Stories have changed the world of apps. The first application to shamelessly copy Snapchat was Facebook directly in Instagram Stories. Later, Facebook incorporated this format to all its other applications such as Facebook or WhatsApp but it was not the only company that has used this feature.

Since Stories have one thing in common, highlighting content, they are valid for any application. Spotify also has its own Stories and now it is a Google application that joins this trend, Google Photos.The difference between the Google Photos Stories is that they get a name much more in line with what they represent, as they will be called Memories.

What are Google Photos Memories like?

Despite using a similar format, Google Photos Memories represents the same thing that many other galleries do. These Memories are nothing more than a series of photos and videos in vertical format selected from among your photos from Google Photos. An algorithm with Artificial Intelligence will take care of searching through your photos to show you the ones it thinks are most important to you.

All these photos will be updated from time to time to show you different places or moments. There are no further requirements for Memoirs. It will be enough to click on each of these Memories (directly on each bubble) and they will open in full screen and play (if they are videos).The user does not have to do anything else. Despite the fact that over time they will be erased and disappear to give way to new ones, all Memories will always remain in Google Photos.

How to activate Memories in Google Photos?

The new Google Photos Memories are already available on the Android platform application, although they are being progressively activated through the server . So all you need to do is wait for them to appear.

What other changes have come to the app?

This has not been the only novelty that has come to Google Photos in the latest version. The application has also created a lateral space where you can set aside photos to print This space will be designed to improve sharing (or file sharing). They have even commented that they will create a messenger in the application that will make it easier to send photos and videos, let's hope it doesn't end up like the one on YouTube, which lasted a very short time.This feature is expected to be available later this year.
