Ask Photos rolls out officially after a month-long wait period. This is an AI-powered feature that enables users to receive photos from their library based on the prompts they provide. However, this feature is only available to some select users in the US.
Google had opened a waitlist for users to test this new feature out around September but the feature has just started rolling out. This feature works on both iOS and Android. Users with the feature will notice it on Google Photos on the bottom bar. The users can even use the classic search. However, they can only do so after they have asked the question on Ask Photos.
Once users have opened this feature, they will have to provide and confirm details. Some of these details include making sure that people have the correct names. The users will also have to define the relationships they have with people.
Ask Photos Rolls out: How this feature works
Ask Photos is an AI-powered feature that goes through the user’s Google Photos library to retrieve relevant photos. For instance, when a user asks the AI when was the last time they ate at a restaurant, the AI would fetch an image from the user’s gallery. There would also be a description of the image provided to the user, and it would be filled with details of the event.
It has been noted by several users that the feature works best when asked about places and people. The feature seemingly does not perform the best when asked about events. It is a great way for users to recall past events that took place and make it easier for them to get specific images instead of manually going through each picture in their gallery.
Ask Photos is currently only exclusive to the US to select users. However, the feature is expected to roll out to even more users as the weeks go by.
