Google Photos Arrives on Samsung AI TVs
Samsung and Google are teaming up to bring Google Photos to Samsung's new AI TVs.
This means you can view your photos and videos on a big TV screen instead of just your phone.
The TV will use smart technology to show you special collections of photos based on people, places, and important moments.
There will also be new features coming out in 2026, like creating fun visuals from your photos and seeing personalized photo themes.
To use this, you'll need a Google account and have your photos backed up.
The goal is to make your TV a place where you can enjoy your memories, not just watch shows.
Additionally, the app will allow you to browse albums, search by faces or locations, and play slideshows with music straight from the TV.
Families can easily share photos during gatherings, and the app will integrate with ambient mode features on compatible models.
Google Photos will be integrated into Samsung AI TVs, allowing users to view their photo libraries on a larger screen.
The feature will use AI to curate photo collections based on people, places, and moments.
New features like Memories, Create with AI, and Personalised Results are planned for 2026.
The Memories feature will be exclusive to Samsung TVs for the first six months.
Users will need a Google account with photo backups enabled to access the feature.
