Google Maps adds Gemini captions, photo suggestions for contributors
Google Maps just dropped some handy new AI features to make sharing your adventures easier.
Now, the app can suggest photos from your recent trips and even write captions for you using Gemini, Google's AI.
The goal? To help more than 500 million contributors share cool finds and make exploring new spots a breeze.
Google Maps captions editable, iOS rollout
When you visit somewhere, Maps can pick out photos from your library (if you've given permission) and suggest them for sharing.
Gemini then auto-generates captions, but you can tweak or swap them if you want.
Plus, the Contribute tab now highlights your points total, so if you love helping others discover places, it's easier to track your impact.
These features are live on Android and iOS for photo suggestions; caption suggestions are rolling out first on iOS in the US before expanding further.
