- Google Photos is getting an enhanced search feature that allows users to search their photo library using natural language descriptions.

Google Photos is about to get a significant boost in usability thanks to a major update powered by Google’s Gemini AI. First previewed at Google I/O in May, these enhancements are set to improve the way users search for and interact with their photo libraries.
One of the most notable updates is the new natural language search, which enables users to search for photos using casual descriptions. Instead of relying on exact keywords or dates, you can now search for images by describing actions and people. The official Google blog post provided examples of searches like “Alice and me laughing,” “Kayaking on a lake surrounded by mountains,” and “Emma painting in the backyard.”
