Google Photos gets in on the April Fools’ Day action by introducing emoji search capabilities
We all know how powerful search in Google Photos can be, thanks to its versatile object image recognition capabilities. Now, though, they've taken it one step further with the introduction of...wait for it - emoji search!
Getting started is simple: instead of keying in your search term, you can now use its corresponding emoji. Of course, you'll get the same results - only this time it's much more fun. You're even given some suggested emoji to test out the feature for yourself.
Ok you might be asking yourself, “will this April Fools’ joke stay longer, or will it quickly disappear?”. We’re not sure for certain, but the good news is that you can still use emojis in search right now, despite it not being April 1st anymore.
I'd be more than happy to see this feature be permanently implemented - sure, the novelty will soon wear off, but you have to admit that it does add something a little extra to your Photos experience.
