"If users want to tweak the result, they can edit the movie with the movie editor in the iOS or Android app," the tech giant added.Users can choose from a range of themes, including "They Grow Up So Fast" and "Meow Movie".

Google Photos is a photo-sharing and storage service developed by Google. It was announced in May 2015 and spun out from Google+ -- the company's social network.
