Google Photos has always been a handy way to store and organize your pictures, but its latest feature, Ask Photos, is taking things to a whole new level. 

Powered by Google’s Gemini AI, Ask Photos lets you search your photo library using natural language. Let’s take a look at what makes Google Photos AI search so different, what’s improved and how it could change the way you interact with your memories.

META AI’S NEW CHATBOT RAISES PRIVACY ALARMS

What is Google Photos’ AI search?

Ask Photos is Google’s new AI-powered search tool inside Google Photos. Instead of typing simple keywords or scrolling endlessly, you can now ask complex questions. Some examples are, “Show me the best photo from each national park I’ve visited,” or “What did I eat on my trip to Italy?” The AI understands context, dates, locations and even themes, making it easier to find exactly what you’re looking for.

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

How does Ask Photos work?

Ask Photos uses the Gemini AI model, designed specifically for understanding the content and context of your images. When you ask a question, Gemini analyzes your photos, looking at things like location, people and even the quality of each shot. For example, if you ask for the best birthday party photos, it can identify party themes and highlight your favorite moments.

You can use Ask Photos for both simple and complex searches:

  • Simple: “Show me pictures of my dog.”
  • Complex: “Find all the photos from 2025 when I had short hair.”
  • Contextual: “Remind me what themes we’ve had for Lena’s birthday parties?”

What’s new and improved?

After pausing the rollout earlier this year to address speed and quality issues, Google resumed and expanded Ask Photos to more users in the U.S. Now, Ask Photos displays classic search results alongside Gemini AI results on a single page, streamlining your search experience. Simple searches like “cats” or “nature” deliver instant results, while complex queries return faster and more accurate answers. If you prefer classic search, you can opt out of Ask Photos at any time by visiting your app settings and toggling off the “Search with Ask Photos” feature. This flexibility lets you search the way you want.

Availability and privacy

Ask Photos rolls out to more eligible users in the U.S., beyond early access testers. Requirements include being 18 or older, using English (U.S.) as your account language and enabling Face Groups. Google confirms your private photos remain untouched by advertising, and only specific queries may be reviewed to improve the service. Your answers stay private unless you contact support.

Kurt’s key takeaways

Google Photos AI search is making it easier than ever to find specific memories, whether you’re looking for a single photo or trying to remember the details of a special event. With natural language search and the power of Gemini AI, Ask Photos could become the smartest way to browse your photo library.
