Goolge Photos comes to Samsung TVs

Written by Petteri Pyyny @ 03 Apr 2026 7:09

Google's popular photo service, Google Photos, is finally coming directly to Samsung TVs.

Photos integrates directly into Samsung TV's entire user interface, meaning it's not just another app. At the same time, Google Photos replaces Microsoft's OneDrive integration, which was previously on Samsung TVs and will now be removed from Samsung TVs.

Just like on a mobile phone, Google Photos also offers Memories highlights of old photos and moments through the TV. Users can browse their automatically updated memories, view them full-screen, or see selections in a widget view. Freely browsing the entire photo library is not yet possible; the emphasis is on Google's automatically selected highlights.

The installation process has been made easy: in the Google Photos section of the TV, the user is shown a QR code, which is then scanned with a phone camera - and immediately linked to the user's Google account. After this, the user enters a verification code and allows access to their photos. Individual people, pets, or dates can be hidden from memories if, for example, one does not want former partners to appear on the TV's home screen at regular intervals.

Initially, Google Photos will only be available for Samsung's 2026 TV models, and neither company has yet stated whether the feature will be extended to older Samsung TVs.
