- Google Photos v8.0 contains code that lets Ask Photos create calendar events, and we got it to pull an event’s name, date, time, and description straight from a photo of a poster.
- Ask Photos asks for calendar access and then hands the event to Android’s own confirmation prompt, suggesting it works with your default calendar app rather than just Google Calendar.
- The feature is still a work in progress, as Ask Photos assumed a US time zone the poster never mentioned, shifting the event to the wrong date and time in our calendar.

Google now appears to be working on letting you hand this job over to Ask Photos instead.
