Google seems to be focusing more on improving the widgets now that Apple has put a new generation of widgets in iOS 14. It looks like Google Photos is going to take advantage of this with a whole new widget, where you can view images from a year ago.
Memories in Google Photos
In 2019, Google introduced Memories in its Photos app. Google then looks at the photos you took on the same day the year before or a few years ago. You will then be presented with it at the top of the app as a gallery and that view is very reminiscent of Instagram’s Stories function. Last year, Google introduced another live wallpaper based on these memories.

In Google Photos version 5.49, which is now rolling out through the Play Store, 9to5Google has found clues to a home screen widget for Android, which will be called “Your Memories”. The website has already partially got the widget with format 2×2 working and in the screenshots below you can see what Google has in mind.

As soon as you want to put the widget on your home screen, you will be asked which Google account you want to display the photos from. Then the widget should automatically start displaying images from about a year ago.
Availability
It is unknown when the new “Your Memories” widget in Google Photos will be available to everyone on the home screen. Google is now working on it and may also decide not to release the widget at all, but we hope so.
