  • Google Photos’ Memories feature could get a unified share UI soon.
  • The new UI will let users share individual photos from memories or the entire memory as a video from the same page.
  • Google is also testing a new layout for photo previews in the timeline view and a larger Memories carousel for the app’s home screen.

Google Photos is testing some changes for its Memories feature that could make it easier for users to share their memories as videos or individual photos. The app could also get a new photo preview layout for the Memories timeline view and a larger carousel on the home screen.

Google Photos currently brings up a pop-up menu when you tap on the share button in the Memories carousel. It gives you the option to share either the entire memory or just the current photo. Depending on which option you pick, the app opens a corresponding share page to help you share the memory as a video or as individual photos. Google is replacing this menu with a new Share button that opens up a unified share UI.
