  "account": "Google Photos has introduced a new feature in Memories that allows users to disable background music, but the attention is on a potential future update that could automatically add photos to a calendar. Android Authority discovered this in the code of Google Photos version 8.0, which includes an option to \"Add to calendar.\" This feature would utilize Ask Photos to access your calendar, create events with details such as title, date, time, and description, and potentially include a link back to the original photo. While this automatic entry could help refresh your memory about events and double-check details, it currently lacks the ability to select a time zone. The feature is in experimental mode in the code of Google Photos and hasn't been released to the public, so the details may change before a public appearance.",
