If you use Google Photos on Android, you can get a similar effect on your home screen.<\/p>\n<p>The photo frame feature on Smart Displays is essentially a screen saver. You choose the Google Photos albums you want to see and it randomly rotates through all the photos. You can get the same feature on Google TV\/Android TV devices as well.<\/p>\n<p>The Google Photos <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> for Android has a widget that acts similarly to the Smart Display photo frame feature. However, you can\u2019t choose the albums you want to see. The photos are pulled from the \u201cYour Memories\u201d row at the top of the app.<\/p>\n<p>To add the widget to your home screen, tap and hold your finger on a blank space on the home screen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-752940\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Screenshot_20210901-102129.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Tap and hold on blank space.\" width=\"449\" height=\"228\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Select \u201cWidgets\u201d from the menu.

The widget shows the title of the Memory it\u2019s pulling the photo from, such as \u201cThis Week 1 Year Ago,\u201d or the date the photo was taken.
