Google Photos has just rolled out a handy new feature that makes it easier to block certain faces from showing up in your memories. While this update isn’t quite the one announced last month, which will allow users to hide a face directly from a specific photo, it does take things a step further. Now, you can block entire series of faces with just a few taps.
How to Quickly Hide Multiple Faces in Google Photos
If there’s someone you’d rather not see in your Google Photos memories, this new feature makes it simple to ensure their face no longer pops up unexpectedly. Whether you’re moving on from a chapter of your life or just want to curate your memories more selectively, here’s how you can do it:
- Open the Google Photos app.
- Tap your profile picture in the top right corner, then navigate to Photos settings.
- Select Preferences, followed by Memories.
- Tap on Hide people and pets.
- Under Show less or Blocked, tap Select faces.
- Choose the faces you want to hide.
- Tap Done.
And just like that, those faces will no longer appear in your memories feed.
This new feature helps users have more control over the memories they see, making the experience feel more personalized and thoughtful. It’s one small way Google is helping you manage your digital life—so you can enjoy your photos without unwanted reminders popping up.
Try it out today and enjoy a more curated collection of your favorite moments!
