You can now get a Recap from the past year in your featured memories carousel. If you've got notifications turned on, you’ll get a notification from Google Photos when your Recap is ready.
As part of your main Recap memory, you’ll get unique insight about your year based on your photos. You’ll now have shareable souvenirs. These are short videos and collages at the end of your Recap, ready to be shared on social media or in chats.
You can save and share your Recap memory. These memories are pinned to your "Collections" tab throughout December for easy access. They move to your photo grid under December after the start of the new year.
