Google Photos may get a “Show more” option for faces in Memories: Report |  Technical news

Google Photos is reportedly working on a new option to let users have control over the faces they see in Memories for a personalized experience. According to consumer tech news platform Android Authority, Google is testing a “Show more” option for faces visible in Memories in the Photos app (version 6.93). With this option, users will have the choice to see more of a particular face in the automatically generated Memories feed. Google Photos uses facial recognition to make this possible in the Memories feed.

According to Android Authority, the feature will be accessible under the “People & Pets” category available in Collections. Here, users will be able to select a face and go to the three-dot menu to select the “Show more in memories” option. From the same menu, users will also be able to select the option to hide certain faces from memories. Users will also be able to access the Show more option from the Photos settings, then Preferences, Memories, and Hide people and pets. This feature gives users more control over who they would like to see in their Photos feed.

It is not certain when the feature will be widely released.

Google Photos is also working on a feature to simplify the process of hiding certain faces that appear in the memory stream or the entire library in Google Photos. Users can choose to see less of the face or hide them completely, so any image they’re in is blocked from appearing in Memories. This will make the process of hiding faces easier and more efficient compared to the old method.

Recently, it was reported that Google is coming with an AI feature called Ask Photos in the Google Photos app, as announced at Google I/O 2024. Ask Photos will be like an advanced version of an already existing search in Google Photos.
