Better random option in ambient mode

Philippep — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 01:22:18 GMT

I would appreciate it if you could suggest an improved random algorithm that would remove a picture from the selection pool once it has been displayed, as currently, there is insufficient variation over time. Some pictures are displayed repeatedly while others are never shown. This is frustrating, even though ambient mode is an excellent feature

You can tell Google what you would like by using the "Send Feedback" option:

Google doesn't read every post in this forum but they do read and track all the feedback they receive that way. Just so you know, they won't respond directly to feedback so don't ask them any questions.

Hey Jeran.

No I'm good. Just wanted to share my honest opinion in the ambient mode. The picturer andomization is just not good.
