- Google has stopped the rollout of photos asking for “very small numbers”.
- Delays, quality and user experience are listed as key issues.
- You can now use quotation marks in the photo app to find exactly text matches.
Ask photos, a search tool for Google Photos, which was introduced for the first time last year. Google was slowly taking the experimental feature into the app, but now the rollout is stopped. It seems that this feature is not yet met by the company’s expectations.
In response to criticism of X (formerly Twitter), Google Photo Product Manager, Jamie Espel, said that Google has stopped the rollout of asking for “very small numbers”. According to Espel, there are three major issues that need to be addressed: delays, quality and UX.
I listen to you both. Ask photos in terms of leasee, quality and UX. The rollout has been stopped in small numbers while we solve these problems. ~ 2 weeks we will send a better version that will return the original search speed and memory
The spinel estimates that the team will take about two weeks to address these concerns. After this period of time, they expect to send a better version “which returns the original search speed and memory.”
If you are unfamiliar with the pictures you ask, this is a device that uses Gemini to find and find information from your photo library. Since LLM Powers Ask Photo, it allows you to use the natural language you are looking for. This feature has been billed as a way to “find a specific memory or memory contained in your gallery for you” even easier. “
Even today, Google Photos has eliminated the ability to enter the price in the photos. As Google explains, the use of quotation marks will help you find “file names, camera models, captions, or in the text to find the exact text match in the text.”
