'These memories are your personal media, privately presented to you so you can sit back and enjoy some of your best moments.' In a blog post, Shimrit Ben-Yair, Google Photos Lead notes the difference between a Facebook memory and a Google Photos one. Google is adding a Memories feature to the app, with machine learning picking out your best shots from a year ago, similar to Facebook's memories feature. Now Google is bringing text search to photos, and if there's text in a photo – like a picture of a recipe – Google Photos will find it. Google Photos has been all about using machine learning to recognize images and find them instantly, with searches like 'bridge,' 'Eiffel tower' and the like. Lieb says that Google didn't offer shipping services for the prints because its research showed that consumers wanted the prints instantly, so this way made more sense.

In 2017, Google said some 2 billion photos and videos were being uploaded to the service daily, a number that hasn't been updated by Google, but product lead David Lieb says the numbers have clearly grown from there.īeyond the prints, Google Photos, which added photo books in 2017, is now also offering the ability to make canvas prints, in three sizes, 8x8, 1x14 and 16x20. In an age when many people share their phone to do display images, Google is pushing back to help get them back on refrigerators, office desks and the like, hoping it will be easier to click a few buttons in a widely used app than just let them sit there in the digital cloud. Many retailers currently offer apps to order prints and then pick them up later, but none has the worldwide gravitas of Google Photos.

You'll get a notification when they're ready for pickup in the app itself. Consumers order the prints from within the app, and the retailer gets the photo directly from Google.
