Now you can easily find photos with Google’s new ‘Ask Photos’ feature. Google explained in an official blog that they are planning to make it easier for you to search photos in your gallery.
The ‘Ask Photos’ feature was initially announced during Google’s I/O developer conference in May 2024. As of now the feature will be available to selected users in the US as early access.
Google introduces ‘Ask Photos’
The ‘Ask Photos’ feature is powered by Gemini AI, which is Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) model. This feature will allow you to search photos easily on your devices. The feature uses AI to understand your commands/queries. Basically, ‘Ask photos’ is an AI-powered conversational search method.
So, how does this feature work? With the ‘Ask Photos’ you can ask to look for a picture in your gallery just by a prompt. You don’t need to scroll through your entire gallery, which can be time consuming. For example you ask ‘show pictures of my 20th birthday’. Now the ‘Ask Photos’ will find the photos of your 20th birthday for you. You don’t even need to scroll through the gallery.
The ‘Ask Photos’ uses Gemini AI that can understand the context, place and timings of your photo. In addition to this you can also ask to look for pictures on specific prompts. For example in case you are looking for specific details of a specific picture. You just need to prompt the specification (smiling face, sad face) and you will get your picture.
Other highlights
However, the ‘Ask Photos’ feature is in early access and will only be available to US users as part of Google Labs. The company explained that they want to make sure that the feature is working well before rolling out to everyone. In addition to this Google claimed that protecting the safety of its users is their top priority. The data used for the new feature will not be shared and is secured.
As Google aims to bring AI in all its products, it’s constantly coming up with such updates. Just a day before, Google announced that soon you will be able to upload files on the Gemini App for your phone. The company said that it has expanded the usage of its AI assistant Gemini AI for smartphone users.
But what does this mean to you? So, with the ‘file upload’ feature you can upload files directly from your phone within the Gemini app. In addition to this with the new feature users can get an upgrade of its Gemini App for mobile. Furthermore, the ‘file upload’ feature is available for both iOS and Android users, the company said in an official blog .
