If you have an extensive library of images and videos in Google Photos, finding specific content can be challenging, but the platform offers several search functions to help users.
One option is to search by person or pet, with Google Photos utilising AI to recognise individuals in images and grouping them together, although users may need to help with identification.
Users can also search by location, with the app able to recognise anywhere that is marked on Google Maps, or by date range, with results accurate by year, month, or even specific date or season.
AI capabilities also mean users can search by subject, looking for items such as beaches, bedrooms, or something specific, although it is best to stick to one search term.
Additionally, images are searched based on text included in the image, so searching for ‘table’, for example, will turn up images that include the text ‘table’ within the shot.
