Since the launch of Google Photos in 2015, it has been home for many peoples memories across the world. As humans we we love to document each and every moment in our lives either by video or my photos making our our photo gallery cluttered with similar photos of a single moment or screenshots and documents you snapped for future reference. To help you declutter your gallery and keep the focus on your memories, Google photos is rolling out new AI-powered features that will group similar photos together and intelligently organize screenshots and documents into helpful albums so you can easily find them when you need them.

Photo Stacks – Group same pictures.
A quick fact, about a third of most people’s galleries are made up of similar photos, this is as a result of taking pictures or videos with several attempts to get the perfect shot just to later go through them and pick one or two. But all those extra snaps can add bulk to your gallery. To help make your gallery tidier, Google Photos will automatically identify and group similar photos that were taken close together into Photo Stacks and select the top pick that best captures that moment. All of this will be made possible with AI. But Google Photos will always have the option to enable you select your own photo as a top pick, modify the stacks, or turn off Photo Stacks at any time so you can see everything in your Photos gallery.
Easy Find
Sometimes it becomes hard to find a screenshot that you took a while back in your gallery. In certain instances, screenshots can be handy, but they also clutter up your gallery and get in the way of looking back on the moments that matter most. Now, Google Photos uses AI to better identify and automatically categorize screenshots and documents in your gallery into more helpful albums like ID, receipts and event information. This makes it easy to find what you need when you need it without having to scroll through all your photos.
This feature gets better as it will enable you to set helpful reminders in your calendar from screenshots, example a ticket or a picture you took of a flyer for an upcoming event. On the said screenshot just click ‘Set Reminder’ to add it to your calendar, and you’ll get a helpful reminder to revisit the screenshot closer to when you’ll need it. You can also choose to automatically archive your screenshots and documents after 30 days, which will hide them from your main gallery but keep them accessible from their dedicated albums.
