Google photos app now shows loads of useful information when you swipe up on the photo in Memories view. There you can see a location pin, EXIF data and also a person associated with the photo if there is one.

Apart from this, it got a new widget that allows you to bring Google Photo Memories to your home screen. There you will be able to see your old photos from the past years. This widget asks you to select a Google account associated with your photo library but seems that it doesn't work well all the time as it was in my case. Did it work for you? 🤔
