Back in January, Android Authority discovered a new feature the Google Photos team appeared to be working on called “My Week.” Just a few days ago, we managed to enable the feature, allowing us to give our readers an early look at how it might work. Now photo-sharing app Retro is pointing out similarities between its app and Google’s new feature.

Although it’s not live yet, our APK teardowns have told us My Week is a Google Photos feature that lets users share weekly memories with friends and family privately. It’s an invite-only feature, so the user can choose exactly who they want to share their pictures with. The point is to keep friends and family up-to-date with your life by automatically sending memories to them on a weekly basis.
