Google has introduced three new features to its Maps application, including faster access to photos and faster photo uploads. The company relies on everyday users to contribute reviews, photos and videos to inform research about places they've been. The new feature allows for photo and video suggestions from saved images, if given permission. This could be helpful in situations where several photos are not captioned. The Gemini AI model, which analyses and captions photos for users, will also allow users to quickly check their contributions to Google's Local Guide community program. The updates are now available globally on Android and will expand to iOS in the coming months.
