Google Photos launches a '2024 Recap' for a look back at this year's memories | TechCrunch

Dec 06, 2024 - techcrunch.com
Google Photos is introducing a year-end recap feature called "2024 Recap" that provides users with a collection of memories, insights, and photos from the past year. The feature also includes AI-generated captions, available to select users in the U.S., which highlight the two biggest moments from the user's year. The recap also includes personalized metrics about the number of photos and videos taken, and the total hours of footage.

However, the feature has its limitations as it may include difficult memories that users would rather avoid. Despite this, if users had a largely positive year, the recap can be a fun way to re-share favorite moments. The 2024 Recap is currently rolling out to Google Photos, and users will receive a notification when their recap is ready. To access the AI captions feature, users are advised to opt into using Gemini in Photos.
