Google's The Keyword blog revealed that a new update to Memories is coming for all users of the app, centering on a redesign that is coming soon for the public. The feature would use more of the videos uploaded in its cloud and add to the Memories generator for the public, as well as adding background music fit for the memory.

Additionally, the company is adding its "Cinematic Photos" feature to Memories as well, putting an animation to the media, particularly with the 3D effects it will add to its output.

Google brought the Memories feature to the world more than three years ago, and this new update will redesign the feature after a long time, now with better integration. The new Memories update is coming by October for its public release.

Google Photos Styles, Collage Editor Update

Additionally, Google is adding a new feature here called "Styles," and it presents new frames and backgrounds that remind a person of putting designs on their photo albums. It also centers on a scrapbooking experience, something which gives the images a more "home-y" feeling.

Moreover, a collage editor is coming with the Google Photos update, with both the Styles and collage coming for Android and later on for the web platform and iOS.

Google Photos App

Google Photos is a significant feature for Android and Google users which brings a Gallery application as well as a cloud-based storage system for one's treasured memories. However, its recent removal of the "unlimited storage" in place for its subscription feature put a divide among its customers that have been using the feature for a long time.

Still, Google Photos is an accessible app that is available for smartphones and the PC web platform to keep these images and videos in one place, different from its famous Google Drive.

New features come to the Google Photos app, and it expands the service to bring the latest technology even to non-Pixel Android phones, particularly with the Locked Folders in the system. It brings security among the users' uploads, especially with the cloud storage link that they may share with others, but keep some media inaccessible.

Memories on Google Photos was around for quite some time already, and it presents a way for people to have a review of their uploads that the company's system auto-generates for all. Other editing features are also available now, giving everyone access to a unique experience with the Photos app, across the platform.
