I’ve been working as a technology journalist since the early nineties. My passion is photography and the ever-changing hardware and software that we use to create it, be it traditional cameras and Photoshop or smartphones and tablets with their numerous apps.
Google is testing a much-needed new feature that will help prevent Google Photos from showing you content you’d rather not see.According to a new report, Google Photos is preparing a new “show less” function that will let users hide specific faces from the platform’s automatically-generated “Memories” feature without untagging them from photos saved in the main photo library.
The new function provides a much-needed way of avoiding emotionally sensitive reminders of selected individuals while retaining the ability to search for them in your photo collection. A typical example would be when a loved one has recently passed away: You want to keep them tagged in your photos, but you don’t want to receive unexpected notifications containing videos and photos of them.
is not yet available to users, but the code already exists in the latest version of the Google Photos Android app.According to the report, a new “Hide face from memories” menu item will appear in Google Photos when editing an individual from the “People and Pets” view. Tapping this will offer up two options: The first is the “Show less” feature detailed above, while the second, “Block face,” will additionally prevent that person from being tagged in photos with others.
If Google decides to roll this feature out widely, it will be interesting to see whether its benefits outweigh these potential issues.
