Google Photos is about to make reminiscing and sharing memories even simpler.

A forthcoming update for the app on iOS and Android devices will introduce a new video creation tool that aims to streamline the process of making video highlight reels.

Users can expect to see this new feature rolling out tomorrow.

Accessible from a newly added top menu within the app, the video creation tool comes as a new ‘Highlight video’ option.

This feature allows users to sift through collections of people, places, and activities to put together a video instantaneously.

A built-in search bar will suggest topics, letting you zero in on specific locations, dates, or moments.

Once the criteria are selected, a video is auto-generated, complete with the ability to pause, play, add more items, and even alter the music and trim down the video as desired.

The AI-driven feature also synchronizes the music with the generated video, making for a seamless viewing experience.

In addition to the video creation tool, the new top menu provides access to creating new albums and collages.

Users will also have the facility to share cinematic photos and animations.

This comes on the heels of earlier updates this year, including an expanded ‘locked folder’ feature on iOS and web platforms, and improved editing tools for web users.

It’s crucial to differentiate this new tool from the pre-existing ‘memories’ feature on Google Photos.

The latter also received an upgrade recently and became available to Chromebook users earlier this year.
