It took a while, but Google is finally expanding its AI solution, Gemini, with more features and seamless integration between Apps. One thing that has always been a predominant truth is that Google Mobile Services is one of the strongest arms of the search giant, especially in the mobile scene. Naturally, making Gemini powerful in all its apps, will quickly make it more popular and necessary for users. Well, today the company is taking an important step in this regard by bringing Geming integration to Google Photos.

Google’s AI assistant Gemini already supports integration with various Google Apps. The list keeps growing with relevant apps like Calendar, Drive, Docs, Maps, YouTube, and others. The Android version also works well with third-party apps and services like Spotify, OpenStax, and WhatsApp. Now, the company is supporting Google Photos, one of its strongest and most essential services.

Google Gemini Becomes Smarter With Photos Integration

The new version of the app was previewed in the last month. Now, the folks at 9to5Google spotted it is finally hitting smartphones. It adds two new components: The first allows it to look through backed-up images and photos to search for faces, locations, and dates. It also offers response-specific prompts, such as “show recent selfies” or “find photos of landscapes”. Google has been implementing smart recognition features in Photos for a while, now it adds a further step with the integration of AI.

The second feature takes more advantage of AI. For example, when asking questions such as “Where did I eat vegan food in Lisbon?” or “What is the driver’s license of the Ferrari I saw in Bergamo?” Tapping a result opens the Photos app, and there is a “Show more” button that should give more details.

Google Photos can be enabled through the Android app or Gemini. In the top-right corner, in the Profile Menu, there are Apps; Scroll to Media, and Enable Google Photos. It sits next to Spotify and YouTube. It is worth noting that the update is rolling out in a gradual form. For now, it is available only in the United States. Google is probably doing some tests with real-world scenarios before proceeding to a wider rollout.

It’s natural to see Google further expanding the features of Gemini. With competitors like ChatGPT and DeepSeek raising their efforts in Android, we expect the company to hurry in implementing features.
