What’s new in Google Photos search: more precise and interactive tools

Google Photos’ latest updates make finding images and videos easier and more intuitive.

Google Photos has launched a new update that simplifies how we search for images and videos in our library. With this improvement, searches will be more precise and immediate, using natural language to make technology interaction smoother and more intuitive.

New search features

The main update allows users to create detailed text queries to find exactly what they are looking for. With this tool, you can describe images using everyday language. For example, you can search for a photo by simply typing: “kayak on a lake surrounded by mountains.” This approach significantly reduces the time needed to find a specific image in your vast Google Photos gallery.

Availability and access

Currently, this advanced functionality is available for English-speaking users on Android and iOS. For now, only users using Google Photos in English can fully take advantage of these new search capabilities.

Preview of Ask Photos

In addition to the new search feature, Google has also announced early access to Ask Photos, an innovative tool that uses the latest Gemini models. This system delivers even more accurate results using conversational prompts. Essentially, it will be like having a conversation with your photo library to find the perfect image.
