Google Photos is rolling out a feature that lets users turn off the background music used in “Memories.” Multiple outlets report that the update addresses complaints about audio being added automatically and potentially disrupting the mood of photos or videos.
The change is described as giving people more control over how Memories plays audio, with wording across reports emphasizing that users can fully disable the background music. While the updates focus on the music setting, the articles generally do not provide details about rollout timing, device requirements, or where the option appears in the app.
Across coverage, the central agreement is that Memories no longer needs to include random or unwanted background music, aligning the feature with user requests for better customization.
