The stacked photos are not removed, but hidden, and can be viewed by tapping on the stack. Google Photos uses OCR to recognize screenshots and documents and categorize them into albums. Users can also choose to automatically archive screenshots and documents after 30 days. Both features are rolling out to Google Photos on Android and iOS starting today.
Key takeaways:
- Google Photos is introducing new features that use AI to better organize and categorize photos, including a feature called Photo Stacks.
- Photo Stacks will identify the 'best' photo from a group and select it as the top pick, reducing clutter in the gallery. Users can choose their own top pick or disable the feature.
- Another feature will use AI to categorize photos of items like screenshots and documents, and allow users to set reminders on these images.
