Last year, Google introduced Google Photos Recap, which made you revisit the photos and videos, refreshing the memories of the whole year. Google Photos Recap 2025 is now back with new ways to personalise, create, and share your Recap.
The wait is over! π #GooglePhotosRecap is back!
Relive the people, places, and moments that made 2025 special. We've made it even easier to share your faves! πhttps://t.co/G0yQSkJZub— Google Photos (@googlephotos) December 3, 2025
Google Photos Recap 2025
Your Recap includes memorable photos and moments from your year, with fun graphics and cinematic effects. You will see stats with your top people, total photo count, and also a selfie count.
For the US users, with Gemini features enabled in Photos, their Recap will also showcase their standout hobbies and top highlights from the year.
Users can also hide specific people or photos, and once they do that, they can simply regenerate for an updated version. To create a better Recap, just click the Edit with CapCut button at the end of your Recap to easily export it to CapCut, where you can choose from exclusive Google Photos templates so you can make a version thatβs uniquely yours.
At the end of your Recap, you will find a new carousel of short videos and collages from your lookback that are made for sharing on social or group chat. You can also share your Recap directly to your WhatsApp status.
Availability
Recap in the Memories carousel will be seen starting this week. If not available, you may see an option at the top of the app where you can request Photos to create it. After you watch your Recap, it will remain in the back of your Memories carousel and will be pinned in your Collections tab for all of December.
Other than the Recap, you will also see a series of related highlights focused on 2025 in your Memories carousel throughout the month of December, featuring some more of your top moments from the year.
