Google Photos’ Library is dead — say hello to Collections

You can say goodbye to your library tab in Google Photos, because Google is introducing a new destination called Collections that’s supposed to make “finding content easier than ever.” Collections house all of your albums in one place, such as your private albums and those that have been shared with you by other users, as well as new folders for people and pets, documents, and places.
The changes are presumably in support of Google’s upcoming Gemini-powered Ask Photos assistant, which CEO Sundar Pichai said would be arriving sometime this summer. 9to5Google notes that the search tab has also been redesigned, replacing the previous image tiles with a list of suggested options like Screenshots, Selfies, and Menus.
