Samsung plans to integrate Google Photos into its televisions

Samsung has that it “aims to be the first” to natively integrate Google Photos into televisions. The goal is for Google Photos to work seamlessly with Samsung’s improved version of Bixby. This would help integrate users’ photos into the everyday TV experience, with photos appearing while browsing the TV’s operating system during “contextual and convenient moments.”

The company says users will be able to explore their Google Photos libraries in three new experiences. The first is called Memories and will show curated stories based on “significant people, places and moments.” It is scheduled to launch in March 2026 and will be exclusive to Samsung TVs for six months.

Creating with AI will use image generation and editing template, allowing users to transform their photos using AI using thematic templates. Users will also be able to turn any still image into a short video using the tool. Create with AI is expected to launch in the second half of 2026.

Finally, personalized results will create themed slideshows of users’ photos based on particular topics or the content of an image. Examples given by Samsung include the ocean, hiking and Paris. It is also scheduled to launch at the end of 2026.
