Photowall for Chromecast is one of those rare official Google apps that makes its debut on iOS instead of Android. In fact, we can’t even say for sure it’ll be coming to Mountain View’s mobile OS, but there’s no reason to assume it won’t. The app itself is pretty simple: one or more people are able to beam photos from their iDevice to a Chromecast creating a collage of memories.

Google has launched a brand new Chromecast app today, called Photowall, that will let you display and annotate photos from your iPhone on your TV screen. The app is only available for iOS devices for now, but it’s built to allow people to participate regardless of what device they’re using. Basically, you’ll launch a collage via Photowall and invite others to add additional photos via a URL in the Chrome web browser. The app will record the entire process of assembling a collage and then convert it into a YouTube video for later. Photowall is hardly the most cutting-edge app for Chromecast that’s been released thus far, but it may serve other purposes.
