Google photos search gets smarter; conversational AI and enhanced queries for easier image search

Google Photos has rolled out advanced AI-powered upgrades to its search functionality, allowing users to find photos more intuitively with natural language queries. The improved search capabilities enable users to retrieve images quickly by sorting results based on relevance or date. Available for Android and iOS, the feature will soon support additional languages.

Enhanced photo search with natural language queries

Google’s search upgrade lets users input descriptive searches like "Gigi Hadid playing with daughter" to locate specific images effortlessly. This update aims to simplify photo retrieval through more intuitive search commands.

Select U.S. users are also gaining access to 'Ask Photos,' an AI-driven feature that understands photo context and helps users refine searches. Powered by Gemini AI, this tool can answer complex queries, summarise event highlights, and suggest top images.

Privacy at the core of AI enhancements
