Amazon just redesigned its Photos app for iPhone, here’s what’s new

Prime members have access to unlimited photo back, and Amazon just redesigned its Photos app for iPhone users.

Amazon Photos app redesign highlights curated memories and more natural search

Amazon highlights two key upgrades with its redesigned Photos app for iPhone.

First, Amazon Photos now launches right into a curated carousel of memories and not just a grid of photos.

When you open Amazon Photos, instead of a photo grid, you’ll see a curated carousel of memories at the top of your screen—a weekend at the beach, your child’s first birthday, your family vacation—grouped and ready to watch.

Tap any photo collection to play it back in full screen, with your photos flowing from one to the next. The app surfaces what’s worth seeing automatically, so you don’t have to dig through your archives or remember the exact date something happened.

A key part of the memories carousel is Amazon’s On This Day feature within the Photos app. The redesign prominently features “This Day” along the tab bar.

On This Day, one of the app’s most-loved features, is now easily accessible from your carousel. It brings back pictures and videos from the same date in previous years—what you were doing a year ago, or five—without you having to go looking for them.

Search is the second upgrade in the redesigned Amazon Photos app for iPhone. Amazon says search now uses natural language for plainly describing what’s in an image or around when it was captured.

Amazon Photos supports unlimited photo storage and 5GB video storage with Prime. More video storage can be purchased at these rates:

• 50 GB for $0.99/month: Stores about 7 hours of 1080p HD video
• 100 GB for $1.99/month: Stores about 14 hours of 1080p HD video
• 1 TB for $6.99/month: Stores about 140 hours of 1080p HD video
• 2 TB for $11.99/month: Stores about 280 hours of 1080p HD video

The redesigned Amazon Photos app is available for iPhone users with a Prime membership from today. Amazon says an Android version will follow after first launching the new experience on iOS.
