Just as Facebook demonstrates our memories or makes our video and picture collages that shows our important events, Google too has decided to present our selfies from our past year.

Since 2017 is towards its end, Google Photos have introduced a new video feature called “Smiles of 2017”. The feature automatically selects the user's selfies from 2017 and presents them in a special way to help the user revive those special moments.

Google Photos is originally used as a backup feature of our photos and videos that the user stores on the online Google drive. In the latest update, apart from supplying free backups, the app creates collages and movies through the pictures taken from smartphones.
