It allows you to easily revive, customize, and share your most memorable travel, celebration, and daily moments," Brandon Im wrote. Senior Product Manager, Google Photos on Google blog.

With this capability, Google Photos will allow you to save your favorite memories or create them automatically from scratch to create a timeline.

Google also says that you can choose to save favorite memories to Memories or create them yourself from scratch. The view of Memories also allows you to easily add or delete certain photos and videos.

You can change the name of Your Memories to make it recognized and reflect the meaning and feelings of that time. Or if you want inspiration, let Google Photos provide a set of specific title suggestions made with a generative AI," he added.

Currently, the AI-powered Memories feature has just been launched for Google Photos users in the United States (US), and is likely to roll out to all users in the future.
