    Last week my phone showed me the happy memory of my grandmas grave. Yeah, thanks. How do I turn this off?

    Back when google photos used to make videos of things you have done and taken lots of photos for, it made a video for me of a camping trip that prominently featured photos of a dead wild horse. Complete with confetti effects.

    My job involves organs and sometimes I take photos for various reasons, often to demonstrate something to a physician or to cover my ass (identifying patient info is removed from the photo…not a HIPAA violation). Sometimes my phone likes to show these as memories lol.

      What phones have the audacity to randomly show you photos you took way back, so I can avoid those phones?

        It’s a “feature” of Google photos and whatever the iOS equivalent of that is. You can just turn it off if you don’t want to see it.

    As a healthcare worker Google recommends the strangest things. Such as a slide show of people with injuries set to some upbeat music, or color popping an injury.
