Google is shaking up the way you organize your digital memories. The tech giant has announced the demise of the familiar “Library” tab in Google Photos and replaced it with a new feature called “Collections”. According to Google, this overhaul is designed to make finding your photos and videos a breeze.

Collections are essentially a centralized hub for all your albums, both private and shared. It also introduces new folders for categorizing your photos based on people, pets, documents, and locations. This restructuring is believed to be a precursor to Google’s upcoming AI-powered photo assistant, “Ask Photos,” which is set to debut this summer.

The familiar bookshelf-style icon remains, but the content behind it has been completely revamped. Your photos are now sorted into different sections accessible through the Collections tab. You can quickly switch between “All,” “Shared with me,” and “My albums” views. Your favorites and recently deleted items are prominently displayed at the top, while other sections may change based on your usage patterns.

One notable casualty of this redesign is the “Utilities” folder. Features like creating locked folders, importing images, and making photo creations have been moved to different locations within the app. To create a locked folder, you’ll now need to scroll to the bottom of the Collections tab. Other tools like freeing up storage and managing photo frames are buried within your Google Photos account settings.

While the changes may require some adjustment for existing users, Google is betting that the new Collections view will ultimately provide a more intuitive and efficient way to navigate your photo library. As the rollout unfolds over the next few weeks, users will have a chance to explore the new features and decide if the changes are an improvement.
