If you’ve ever snapped a photo of a dream destination and forgotten all about it, Google’s latest update to Maps might be the fix.
Google Maps has added a new AI-powered feature using Gemini that scans your phone’s screenshots to help plan holidays. It identifies locations from saved screenshots and suggests related spots within the app.
Called the “screenshot list,” the AI tool pulls out text from images and lets users save destinations into shareable lists. For now, it works only on iOS, with Android support on the way.
Privacy is a key focus, with all processing done on-device and the feature requiring manual activation. Google is also rolling out hotel price drop alerts and personalised trip plans via Search.
