It\u2019s been available to only iOS users since then. Now, thanks to a Telegram group called \u201cPixels\u201d we know that the feature is starting to hit Android devices.<br \/>\nThe Memories widget is only for some users at the moment<br \/>\nEveryone knows that certain features are made available on iOS devices before Android devices, but the story of the Memories widget is a bit extreme. Google made the feature available to iOS users about ten months ago.<br \/>\nNow, according to the Telegram group, this feature is starting to be seen on some select Android devices. Some users who are running version 5.52.0.0387241369 have seen the widget in their widget picker.<br \/>\nBy default, the widget will come in a 2\u00d72 size. That\u2019s minuscule, so users will more than likely adjust the size to suit their needs. We\u2019re not sure if you will have any control over the kind of memories that will be displayed in the widget.<br \/>\nThe Memories widget is mostly for people who what to see their old photos from time to time but don\u2019t actually go to the Google Photos app a lot. This may push more people to upload their photos to Google photos.<br \/>\nWhat are Google Photo Memories?<br \/>\nIn the Google Photos app, Google will show you some albums called Memories. These albums pop up at the top of your Photos tab for easy viewing.<br \/>\nThese are automatically generated photo albums that Google compiles. Memories can display photos that you took on that day in a different year, photos that have similar colors, similar people, or photos taken at certain times. Google hopes people will stumble across these memories.<br \/>\nAnother Google Photos update adds haptic feedback to photo scrolling<br \/>\nA minor update to the Google Photos app adds a slight haptic click when you navigate your photos. The update landed not too long ago, so most users should have it.<br \/>\nWhen you scroll through your pictures, you will feel a small click from your phone\u2019s vibration motor. Each click will represent each month that you pass. You\u2019ll get better clicks if you have a more premium phone. More expensive phones tend to have better vibration motors.<br \/>\nCheaper phones have cheaper vibration motors, so you will feel more of a smear rather than a series of distinct clicks. If you want to feel for yourself, the update is already out. Check to see if your app is up-to-date if you can\u2019t feel anything.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe post Google Photos Memories Widget Finally Hitting Android Devices appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Google-Photos-AH-NS-01-600x338-1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google previously released an update to Google Photos that created a Memories widget.
