Amazon Photos Redesign Puts Memories Front and Center on iPhone

The shift brings the service closer to Apple and Google’s photo apps.

Overview

  • Amazon rolled out a revamped Photos app for Prime members on iPhone, with an Android version planned after the iOS launch.
  • The app now opens to a curated carousel of memories that plays collections in full screen when tapped.
  • A prominent On This Day section resurfaces photos and videos from the same date in past years without digging through the library.
  • Search supports natural-language queries so users can describe what is in a picture or roughly when it was taken.
  • Navigation mirrors familiar layouts with sections like This Day, Years, People, and Creations, while storage remains a Prime benefit with unlimited photo backup and 5 GB of video plus paid tiers for more.
