Once you make an album, the Assistant will continue to update it with any new, relevant images you upload to your Photos account. This feature is called Live Albums, and the facial recognition algorithm works quite well.
The app even lets you create albums that only recognize certain faces, making quick work of creating a family photo album to display on your Home Hub. All you need is an active Google Photos account (it's free!) and the app on your smartphone. The Google Home Hub is much easier to populate with photos than those old digital frames because it's all managed wirelessly. We've come a long way since those days, especially with Google's new smart display. You’d have to either tether it to your computer with a USB cable to transfer over files or load up an SD Card whenever you wanted to add or change the images on display. The Home Hub's digital photo frame capabilities make it a unique decor piece wherever it lives.ĭigital photo frames were all the rage a decade ago, though they were often fussy to set up and maintain.
