Gemini's integration with Google Photos will make Galaxy phones smarter

Gemini is now the most preferred AI assistant on Samsung phones and tablets. With the latest One UI 7.0 beta update, Samsung brought the ability to set Gemini as the default AI assistant even on its older phones. In the near future, Gemini will get the ability to find relevent memories from your Google Photos library.

Google recently announced that Gemini will soon get the Google Photos app (earlier called Extension). It means that you can ask for relevant photos and videos in natural language, and Gemini will find them for you from your Google Photos library. Now, Google has shared more details about how the feature will work.

Once you enable the Google Photos app in the Gemini app on your Galaxy phone or tablet, you can use the @Google Photos command while typing your query. You can use your natural language to find things in Google Photos. For example, you can ask it to find your photos with your family member or you can ask it to show your photos from last summer or from your trip to Italy. You can also ask Gemini to find landscape photos from your Google Photos library or your recent selfies.

This integration is quite deep, as you can also ask Gemini more details about specific things. For example, you can ask the following kinds of questions:

Once it finds all the relevant photos or videos, Gemini lets you open those results in the Google Photos app so that you can do more things with them, such as sharing them or editing them. You can even drag those photos and videos from Google Photos to any other supported app via multitasking gestures.

Google says you can't use Gemini to edit your photos, create albums or collages, or add labels to your photos. However, that functionality could come in the future. As of now, Gemini's Google Photos integration is best for retrieving memories rather than editing them. Still, it would make using your Galaxy phone or tablet more fun and easy.
