Google Photos Memories presents you with photos from your own archive. A nice birthday from three years ago or that beautiful walk from six years ago that you had completely forgotten.
Set Reminders
Take a journey through your own past with Google Photos Memories. At the top of the Photos app are snaps from previous years, photos from the past few weeks, or themed memories such as places visited or birthdays.
