Most people are blissfully unaware of how much fun playing with the Google Photos features can be. I was one of those people until recently. For a long time, it was just my default photo library app, and I assumed it was just another way that Google was keen to manage every aspect of my life. I even found the Memories notifications a little irritating for a while. My default attitude was that I get enough notifications already without this photo storage app bugging me about something or other.
Then I clicked on one of them, and I was impressed. Many of us take photos to document nice moments and then forget about them, with the vague notion that one day we’ll sit down and reminisce. But Memories drops little reminders every now and then of good times gone by, which can lift your spirits a little. I wondered what other cool things the app could do, and it turns out that there’s no end to the edits, customizations, and creations that you can enjoy.
