Google Photos Shortens Deleted Item Retention and Plans Calendar Event Feature
Google Photos will reduce the retention period for deleted photos and videos in its Bin from 60 days to 30 days starting December 5, 2026. Items deleted before this date will follow the current 60-day policy. Additionally, Google is developing a feature that allows users to create calendar events by scanning details from photos of posters or invitations, automatically populating event information in Google Calendar. These updates aim to affect how users manage deleted content and organize events.
