Google Photos is constantly adding interesting features to its app. Many users rely on Google Photos to store and back up their photos, making them easily accessible through their Gmail accounts. A valuable feature is “Memories,” which surfaces old photos to create a nostalgic experience.
However, sometimes you might not want to see photos of specific people in your Memories. To address this, Google Photos may soon get the new feature that allows you to hide specific faces from your Memories.
According to a report by 9to5Google, the latest version of Google Photos offers functionality to hide someone’s face in Memories.

The new feature offers two options for hiding faces:
- Block Face: This completely removes the person’s photos from your Memories. They won’t appear individually or in group photos.

This new feature is expected to be available soon for Google Photos and seems like a valuable addition. It will allow users to personalize their Memories experience and manage unwanted content. While the effectiveness remains to be seen, it offers greater control over what surfaces in your Memories.
