Samsung plans to bring Google Photos to its TVs in 2026

For years now, to enjoy their photos or videos on the big screen, Google Photos users had to either cast their photos to their Android TVs, or sideload the app to use it. The app is now finally getting a version for Samsung TVs: The Korean tech giant on Monday said it plans to bring Google Photos to its TVs in 2026. The company said the initial version of the Google Photos integration will show curated photos and videos through the Memories feature, which will be exclusive to Samsung for six months. The company said users will need to sign in to their Google accounts to have photos and videos appear on its TVs. “Google Photos is a home for people’s photos and videos, helping them organize and bring their memories to life. We’re excited to bring Google Photos to Samsung TVs — helping people enjoy their favorite photos on a larger screen and reconnect with their memories in new ways,” said Shimrit Ben-Yair, vice president, Google Photos and Google One, in a statement.
