Your Google Photos library may be getting a lot easier to navigate by faces (APK teardown)
  • Google Photos has long been able to recognize common faces in your pictures.
  • The app may be changing how those faces are surfaced, adding them to the main photo view.
  • Right now, you have to pull up image details before you can see identified faces.

Taking photos has got to be one of the biggest things we use our smartphones for, so of course companies like Google are paying a lot of attention to their photography apps. Right now, those Google devs seem to be on a bit of a spree, and we’ve been spotting a ton of work on upcoming Google Photos features, from new rotation options to improved support for working with multiple pics at once. That party’s not stopping now, and we’ve also uncovered progress on what appears to be a change to how the app displays the faces it’s recognized.
