Face grouping automatically groups similar faces and sorts them for you making it easy to search and manage your photos. Face groups and labels are only visible to you. You control whether face grouping is on or off, and if you turn it off, face groups will be deleted from your account. We do not make general purpose facial recognition technology commercially available. Learn more.

When you share an album, the default option will be to share with a specific person or people via their Google Account. This gives you more control over who is added to the album. You still have the option to share via a link, which makes it easy to share photos with people who don't use Google Photos or have a Google Account. You can update the sharing settings of your albums at any time and control who has access to each album. Learn more.

When you share one-off photos and videos, you’ll have the option to add them to an ongoing, private conversation in the app. Learn more.

Everything you've shared through Google Photos is located in one place so you can find all the moments you’ve shared with your friends and family.
