Memory Lane
Memory Lane creates a timeline for a person using photos of them from different years. It helps you rediscover how someone has changed over time, and you can share that timeline as a public link.
Note: Memory Lane is currently available in the mobile apps.
How Memory Lane works
Memory Lane uses Ente's people recognition to build a timeline for a person. When enough eligible photos are available, Ente shows a Memory lane banner on that person's page.
The timeline can include:
- photos from different years
- captions such as how many years ago a photo was taken
- age-based captions if that person's birth date is known
Because the timeline depends on people recognition, hidden or ignored faces may affect whether Memory Lane appears.
Open Memory Lane
On mobile:
- Open the Search tab.
- Open the People section.
- Select a person.
- Tap the Memory lane banner when it appears.
If the banner does not appear yet, Ente may still be preparing the timeline or the person may not have enough eligible photos.
Share a Memory Lane link
You can share a Memory Lane as a public link so others can view that person's timeline in a browser.
On mobile:
- Open a person's Memory lane.
- Tap the share action.
- Create or copy the link.
- Share the link with anyone you want.
Recipients can open the link without an Ente account.
What recipients see
A shared Memory Lane opens as a public, browser-based viewer with the same timeline-style presentation.
Recipients can:
- view the timeline in order
- play through the lane presentation
- open the shared link without signing in
If the link expires or is removed, it will stop working.
Availability and limits
- Memory Lane depends on Ente's people recognition features.
- It appears only when Ente can build a usable timeline for that person.
- The feature and sharing flow may vary by platform.
