Google Photos Arrives on 2026 Samsung TVs With Memories-Focused App Integration

The TV version highlights auto-curated Memories over full library browsing.

Overview

  • Google and Samsung have launched Google Photos on eligible 2026 Samsung TVs, putting your pictures on the big screen through Samsung’s Daily+ ecosystem.
  • The experience shows up in three spots on the TV, with a scrolling Memories selection in the Daily+ row, full-screen viewing from the Daily+ app launcher, and highlights inside the Daily Board widget.
  • Setup uses a QR code on the TV for quick sign-in, and the Manage memories controls let you hide specific people, pets, dates, or single items with changes syncing to all your devices.
  • This release centers on surfaced Memories rather than full-library browsing, and it does not offer the advanced, Gemini-powered photo searches available on Google TV.
  • Samsung is also adding a Now Brief feature that recommends photos and videos to revisit, with simple remote controls to pause, go back, or skip forward.
