With the yr winding down, Google Photos is rolling out its 2024 Recap, which has two components.
The first is an roughly 1-minute “Recap reminiscence” that exhibits your images and movies “paired with enjoyable graphics and cinematic results.” (The animations in my vertical Recap have been fairly good.) There’s additionally some background music.
It will observe what number of images you’ve taken this yr and what the “rolls of movie” equal is, in addition to what number of movies and the overall variety of minutes.
In the US, Gemini can add customized captions “highlighting the 2 largest moments out of your yr,” like large journeys or weddings. This is billed as “Google Photos with just a little assist from Gemini.” Go to Google Photos Settings > Preferences > Gemini options in Photos to allow “Use Gemini in Photos” and “Gemini-powered reminiscences.”
Your 2024 Recap may even have insights that supply “enjoyable and shocking tidbits about your yr primarily based on the images you took.” They seem within the Memories carousel after the Recap reminiscence. This can embrace:
- Year in smiles: “This yr, you captured [number of] smiles. But you smiled essentially the most with…”
- Year in colour: “Your most snapped colours this yr had been…”
- Your high faces: “Your 2024 all-star forged” exhibiting the highest 4 those who seem in your pictures
- Longest streak
Like different Memories, these might be saved to your Google Photos library — or they may “transfer to your picture grid in January” — and shared with others.
Google Photos is rolling out the 2024 Recap with a notification alerting you when it’s out there. You can even test the highest carousel. The Face Groups setting should be enabled to get a Recap.
