For years, to view photos and videos on the big screen, Google Photos users had to either cast photos to Android TVs or sideload the app to use it. The app is finally getting a version for Samsung TVs: The Korean tech giant said on Monday that it plans to make Google Photos available on its TVs in 2026.
The company said the initial version of Google Photos integration will display selected photos and videos through the Memories feature, which will be exclusive to Samsung for six months. The company says users will need to sign in to their Google accounts for photos and videos to appear on their TVs.
Samsung also said it plans to add support for AI-powered features such as Nano Banana-based templates, image generation and editing, and a Remix feature that allows you to convert an existing photo to a different style.
“Google Photos is the place where people can store their photos and videos, helping them organize and bring their memories to life. We're excited to bring Google Photos to Samsung TVs – helping people enjoy their favorite photos on a bigger screen and reconnect with their memories in a new way,” Shimrit Ben-Yair, vice president of Google Photos and Google One, said in a statement.
