Google revamps image search for its 25th anniversary with more images and more AI
What's happening
For Google Images' 25th anniversary, Google is changing the Images homepage from a blank search bar to a discovery-driven feed that surfaces many more photos before you type anything. The new homepage will show a "For You" gallery of images tailored to users' interests and browsing history, creating an always-updated gallery based on each user's "unique interests." The redesign is described as Pinterest-like, focused on discovery rather than only search.
