I dont use google photos so not sure, but like browsers have button 'reopen last session' where it remembers and opens the tabs you closed last time, but then for going to point in feed corresponding to time of the note you last opened.

So note1 was made at 18:37h, I open it, close the app. When I go back, open the app hours later, (inadvertently) check something from now, I then want to read back the notes from 18:37 up until the current notes, oldest first.
