Last month, Google renamed Gemini Extensions and previewed an upcoming Google Photos “app,” with more details on how it works now available.
Besides @Google Photos, you can include “my photos” in your prompt to invoke the new integration. It lets you “search for a specific memory or recall information directly from your photo gallery with the Google Photos app in the Gemini mobile app” on Android and iOS.
The first aspect lets you find photos and videos based on:
Example prompts include:
window.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];
adSlotsConfig.push( {
slotID: ‘/1049447/Outbrain’,
slotName: ‘div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-667378’,
sizes: [300, 250],
slotPosition: ‘mid_article’
} );
Meanwhile, you can “for important details found in your photos” with prompts like:
This is exactly like the Ask Photos integration that entered testing last year.
Tapping an image or album result opens Google Photos, while you can “drag and drop a photo from the Gemini on-screen overlay into another app” (on Android).
If Gemini’s response includes photos retrieved from Google Photos, the share or export features only work with the text portion of the response and photos aren’t included.
In terms of availability, Google is “releasing this feature gradually to a select group of invited users.” (That invite might refer to the Ask Photos waitlist.) We’re not yet seeing it live on accounts we checked today.
