In addition to the My Week feature, several minor updates are also expected.

I’m always looking for new ways to share my favourite moments with family and friends, and it looks like Google Photos is about to make that a whole lot easier. Imagine being able to compile your week’s best photos and videos into a single, shareable collection that highlights your adventures, big and small. That’s exactly what Google Photos’ upcoming ‘My Week’ feature could do, according to a report.

I’m genuinely excited about the possibilities here—just think of all the stories and smiles we can send across the miles with a simple tap! Let’s take a look at the details of this potential feature.

Google Photos is expected to roll out a new sharing feature called “My Week” soon, designed to let users share their weekly memories with friends and family. While this feature isn’t live yet in Google Photos version 6.90, Android Authority managed to activate it manually, providing a sneak peek through some screenshots.

“My Week” appears as a new tile titled “Introducing My Week” in the Memories carousel. When users tap on this tile, it opens a setup wizard that guides them through selecting photos to share and inviting others to view their weekly memories.

Once configured, the selected photos are displayed in a dedicated card within the Memories carousel. Users can tap on this card to enter the My Week section, where they can add more photos, view memories from previous weeks, and send messages to their invited contacts.

Recipients will see these shared weekly memories in their own Memories carousel. When they tap on the tile, it opens a slideshow where they can like the photos and leave comments.

In addition to the My Week feature, several minor updates were also noted. These include UI enhancements for the Places section, which now features a map at the top, and an update to the photo details view indicating if a photo is part of an album or memory.

Furthermore, Google appears to be relocating the Sharing activity option to the Updates section for easier access, though users can still view their sharing activity via the app settings.
