I completely reimagined my videos with Video Remix in Google Photos — here’s how you can, too

Google has introduced an AI model called Gemini Omni in the Create tab of the Google Photos app, featuring a tool named Video Remix. This allows users to transform 10-second video clips into new creations using various templates. The feature enhances existing content but has limitations, such as not generating remixes for videos with faces of minors. For creating new video content, the Omni model in the Gemini app is preferred, while Video Remix is more convenient for minor modifications. Users can access Video Remix through a subscription to Google AI, and purchasing a Google Pixel 10 Pro includes a complimentary year of Google AI Pro.

4 Google Health app customizations I use to make the app truly personal

The rebranding of Google Health, previously known as the Fitbit app, has received negative feedback from users, prompting Google to address bugs and emphasize user feedback. The app includes customization options, such as using the Health Connect API to share data with other health apps and devices. Users can also set health goals with the AI-powered Health Coach if they subscribe to Google Health Premium, which costs .99 per month. The new Fitbit Air device, priced at .99, tracks health data for up to seven days on a single charge and serves as an entry point into the Google Health ecosystem. Subscriptions to Google Health Premium or Google AI Pro, priced at .99 and .99 per month respectively, enhance the app's functionality but are optional.

Samsung’s Gallery App on Android Will Soon Lose its OneDrive Integration

The Samsung Gallery app will end its integration with Microsoft’s OneDrive on September 30, 2026, meaning it will no longer display photos stored on OneDrive. Users can still access their photos through the OneDrive Android app and web interface, but must adjust camera backup settings in the OneDrive app to ensure new photos are backed up. Microsoft has provided steps for users to update their camera roll settings to maintain backup of new photos and access existing ones. The OneDrive app features a dedicated Photos tab, but may not match the capabilities of Google Photos, which offers advanced search and AI-driven editing tools. Google recently expanded its storage options, introducing a plan for 5 TB of Google Drive storage for a .99 monthly fee with a Google AI Pro subscription.
