After complaints, Google will make it easier to disable gen AI search in Photos
Summary
Google will add a top-of-search toggle in Google Photos to disable the Gemini-powered Ask Photos search, returning users to the faster classic search. The rollout of Ask Photos has been criticized for slower performance and potential inaccuracies, leading Google to pause earlier in 2025 and now provide a user-accessible fallback. This highlights user control over AI features in consumer apps and raises considerations for AI UX in business tools.
