Google, ASK Photos announced in the past months re -introduced the delays after the delays. The feature offers a new way of use in the Google Photos application with its ability to search in the natural language supported by artificial intelligence. However, in the first stage, performance problems and interface confusion had forced the company to pause a temporary pause. Following all these disruptions, it was returned with a faster and user -friendly version.
This new distribution process, which includes users in the US, is now progressing through a more functional system. ASK Photos’s new version brings together classic Google photographs with Gemini -based artificial intelligence. Thanks to this structure, simple visual recognition requests are now faster. For example, queries that can match directly such as “dog photographs” can be displayed without waiting for artificial intelligence response.
Google Ask Photos combines artificial intelligence with simple search habits
In the case of more complex expressions, the Gemini model comes into play. Questions such as the photo of the restaurant I went on my birthday last year ”requires deeper scanning in the archive with the text-meaning analysis. In such searches, artificial intelligence first offers traditional results, and then brings complex answers to the screen. Thus, while the user’s waiting time is shortened, the rate of access to information increases.
The first tests were performed in September 2024 with a limited group of user. However, in this version, the response time was long and the classic search interface in the menu bar of the application was disabled. To reach the traditional search, more than one screen was necessary to pass. This led to a confusing and inefficient experience for many users.
The current updated system sets up a more balanced bridge between artificial intelligence and classic search habits. Users can use both the old fast search experience and the new AI -based inquiry structure under the same roof. Google’s preference for this structure makes the application more common and practical in daily use. It creates a noticeable relief, especially for users who have frequent photographs and have large archives.
In order to benefit from the Ask Photos feature, you need to provide certain conditions. These conditions are among these conditions to reside in the US, to be over 18 years of age and to set the account language to English. However, the “Face Groups” in Google Photos must be open. Users who meet these criteria can begin to benefit from the advantages of the new system.
Google positions the Ask Photos feature not only like a search engine, but also as a visual memory of the personal past. With the queries in the natural language, access to the details of the past can turn an ordinary photography search for a personal discovery. In this context, users can interact with other forgotten frames that come across while searching for a moment. In particular, the development of natural language processing ability deepens this experience.
Although only users in the United States can access this feature for the time being, the possibility of the system will be offered in other countries. It is known that Google has emitted similar innovations in past applications on a global scale over time. Therefore, it seems possible that Ask Photos can be used in different languages and regions in the future. In addition, user data security and ethical debates are expected to remain on the agenda.
