New Delhi: The search giant Google is finally rolling out a new feature for its Google Photos that uses AI to groups similar shots together to keep your library organized and free of clutter. This new feature is termed as ‘Photo Stacks’. It was initially rolled out to iOS users but now Google is rolling it out to Android users as well.

Group Similar Photos With Photo Stacks

Apart from this, a new AI-powered feature helps to reduce the disarranged and tidy up your photo collection by automatically grouping them up in stacks and creating a mini album of sorts.Adding further, AI assists in identifying the optimal shot, positioning it at the stack's forefront. Nevertheless, users retain the choice to modify the image serving as the stack cover or deactivate the feature altogether.

Easily find your screenshots and documents

This feature will also identify and automatically categorise screenshots and documents in the gallery into more albums such as IDs, receipts and event information. Moreover, Google Photos now allows users to set reminders on those images to find them at a later date. All these updates are currently rolling out to Android and iOS users. 

If Photo Stacks is eligible for your account, the option to activate it will appear automatically upon opening the Google Photos app. If you prefer not to enable it by default or encounter any difficulty, you can access the toggle in the app settings. Simply tap the profile picture icon located at the top right of the screen to access the settings.

According to Google's blog, the new Photos features are currently rolling out to users via the Google Photos app on Android and iOS.
