The two most notable developments in 2020 regarding Google Photos were the support of free unlimited storage and the redesign that revolves around Memories. However, the latter only affected the app while the web experience remained largely the same. This is changing, however, as Google implements an update to the web client that provides a similar experience.
The redesign is first noticed by 9to5Google and introduces a reconnaissance tab similar to the search tab in the mobile app. Here you will be able to sift through your media through three categories: People, places and things, or even sort them by media type (ie screenshots, videos, motion pictures, etc.).
Although you can access your favorites from this page, there is also a specific favorite tab in the navigation menu that lets you go directly to your yesterday media. What the internet experience still lacks is access to Memories, which shows a personalized collection of pictures, grouped by date or a common theme – for example, sunsets and kitchen escapades.
At the time of writing, the new update does not appear to be widely released. Since I could only see it on one of my three accounts, you may have to wait a bit for it.
