Like the Android and iOS apps, a carousel will appear above
your reverse chronological grid of pictures and videos. Google Photos is taking
advantage of the wide screen real estate available on desktops by switching
from portrait to landscape cards.
Tapping opens the fullscreen interface with a rectangular
viewer that’s closer to 4:3 than 16:9. It does not take up the entire display,
and portraits see a border on the left and right. Day/date is noted in the
top-left, and there are shortcuts to print, star, and share. Other memories are
shown at the right edge, while there’s a close button to exit.
The feature can be customized (Previous years, Recent
highlights, Themed memories) or disabled entirely.
Meanwhile, Google should bring this desktop carousel design
for Memories to the Android and iOS tablet experiences, as well as Chromebooks.
Those clients remain larger versions of the phone application. It would
certainly let the UI take better advantage of the available display.
Google Photos Memories on the web will be available
“starting this week.” With this addition, the carousel is now fully launched on
every platform.
