Building on its Instagram Stories-style Memories feature introduced in September last year, Google Photos has now added a cool new way to let you revisit old memories – live wallpapers. With Google Photos version 5.22, you can set images from your Google Photos memories as a live wallpaper.
After updating to Google Photos 5.22, you’ll notice a new ‘Memories’ wallpaper in your phone’s wallpaper picker. The process to apply is the same as setting any other live wallpaper. All you have to do is open the wallpaper picker and set ‘Memories’ as your phone’s wallpaper. The feature will then cycle through photos from your memories.
Another aspect worth mentioning is that this feature won’t be appealing to everyone. If you’re someone who clicks wallpaper-worthy images or prefers having images of friends and family as your wallpaper, you’ll feel right at home with this new Memories live wallpaper. On the flip side, if you have the habit of capturing almost anything under the sun, you might be in for surprises that may or may not have negative consequences.
