Google will integrate Gemini AI into its Android OS in the coming months. And Google says that its Photos app will be one of the first products they built with AI at the center.
This simply means that, with the help of Gemini, you will soon find AI-related features on the Google Photos app. Google also showcased the app’s ‘Ask Photos’ feature.
What is ‘Ask Photos’ on the Google Photos app?
The ‘Ask Photos’ is an experimental feature that will soon be available on Google Photos. It is supposed to make it easier for you to search for a specific memory or recall information included in your gallery.
As the Google Photos gallery grows, finding which photos you need can lead to scrolling through pages of photos and videos. This process takes time, and the app’s ‘Ask Photos’ feature is supposed to simplify it.
Basically, you need to feed Ask AI the prompts, and the tool will scan through your photo library and return results that fit your query.
For example, if you feed Ask AI the prompt ‘Show me Photos with QR Code’, it will show you all photos with a QR code. Similarly, you can feed the prompt to show you all photos with coupon codes in them. It will scan through your Photo library and show you all available options.

The ‘Ask Photos’ feature is still experimental and not available in every country. However, it will soon be rolled out to all Android phones in the coming months.
