FULL STORY
======================================================================

Recently found evidence suggests Google Photos may receive a new tool to make 
hiding photographs displaying certain faces easier. Android Authority 
uneartheddetails of this update after digging through the latest patch of 
Google Photos on Android. 

As the publication explains, the current method has you select a persons face 
within the People section then tap the three-dot menu. This process will be 
further streamlined in the upcoming patch as faces will already be 
highlighted. All you have to do is open an image and then bring up the 
aforementioned People section. Like before, tap the three dots next to the 
icon where you will select Hide face from memories. 

There, you'll have two options. You can either block the other person 
entirely on your account or have them appear less often in the Memories 
archive. Additionally, users are being given new choices within the three-dot 
menu. You can also edit the image label and alter it to a different one or 
change the cover image on a photograph. 

These are small changes, yes, but Android Authority argues they simplify the 
process a lot. You wont have to hop between images just to hide a single 
person on multiple photos, nor will users have to go through the apps 
Settings menu to hide files in bulk. It can all be done conveniently through 
the People section. Imminent release 

Because the tool was discovered within the files and not on the app itself, 
its not available to anyone now. However, the publication successfully 
activated the revamped process on their smartphone, so an imminent release 
could be just around the corner. Screenshots show off a feature that looks 
finished, although we wouldnt be surprised if theres more to be done. 

The publication believes the patch could roll out within the next weeks or 
months at the most. As with every leak, take this information with a grain of 
salt.
