support for Nano Banana modifications and an enhanced editing experience for photographs and videos. Earlier this month, Google also launched the Google Photos Recap 2025 feature that allows users to look back on highlights from the past year and create shareable keepsakes. However, Google Photos is not functional on the one device where it makes the most sense to view your favorite photos and videos, whether it be a Google Photos Recap memory or something else: the large-screen television.
All of that is set to change next year, beginning with select Samsung TV models that will get a Google Photos application for TV. Samsung revealed the TV app on Monday, stating that the Google Photos rollout will be in three stages, including a unique timeframe for showcasing Memories on the television.
Samsung aims to provide users “a seamless way to relive the moments that are most significant, from vacations and hobbies to daily memories with family and friends,” on an “immersive and larger display.” Users will only need to log into their Google Photos account on the television to start enjoying those memories on the big screen. Google Photos will also “broaden the array of photo-based experiences that integrate with Samsung’s Vision AI Companion (VAC),” according to the company. Samsung noted that Google Photos content will feature in Daily+ and Daily Board throughout the day.
Samsung announced that the Google Photos rollout will commence with a Memories feature scheduled for March 2026. This feature will be exclusive to Samsung TVs for a period of six months, indicating that other TV manufacturers may collaborate with Google to showcase Google Photos content. The Memories feature will present “curated stories based on individuals, locations, and significant moments.” It remains unclear how the television app will select memories, or if users will need to choose which memories are displayed.
