Gemini Now Lets Samsung Users Search Their Google Photos With Simple Commands

Google’s AI assistant, Gemini, is now adding Google Photos to Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets. Thanks to this, users will be able to find their memories quite easily. This will let users find photos and videos from their Google Photos library using natural language commands. As a Pixel user, I’ll admit that I am jealous, but I am also sure that this functionality will be introduced to Pixels sooner or later.
Users can type “@Google Photos” or “my photos” in the Gemini app and describe what they are looking for. For example, they can ask Gemini to find photos of specific people, show pictures from last summer, or locate recent selfies. The assistant can also analyze photos for details, such as recalling what was eaten during a trip or identifying a passport number.
For example, you can ask the following kinds of questions, as reported by SamMobile:
@Google Photos What are the top ten things we saw our our last trip?
@Google Photos What did I eat at the hotel last weekend?
@Google Photos What’s my passport number?
@Google Photos What was the theme at Alex’s last birthday party?
@Google Photos What are the things we ate during our last trip to New York?
Once Gemini retrieves the results, users can open them directly in the Google Photos app to share or edit them.
Google says that this integration focuses on retrieving memories rather than editing them. Currently, Gemini cannot edit photos, create albums or collages, or add labels to images. However, these options could be added in the future. The company emphasizes that personal data in Google Photos is not used for ads and that human reviews of queries are anonymized.
The rollout of this functionality is limited to select users for now, with wider availability likely coming soon. Queries currently work only in English.
