How to Hide/See Less of Someone on Google Photos Memories Carousel
Google Photos has a habit of showing blast from the past often. You might’ve spotted a Google Photos notification while you sip your coffee and wonder what that might be about. When you tap on it, it opens photos from a trip you went on last year or occasion from a specific period. Google calls this feature Memories. However, these memories compilation can be painful or unwanted. Luckily,Google Photoslets you hide them or view less of memories of specific people in the photos.
Memories show a carousel of photos and even videos based on date, event, occasion, and other factors. These memories help us reminisce those happy moments, but also includes pictures of people we don’t want to see or think of again. That goes for places to that you vowed never to revisit again. Until now, it was impossible to control what Memories resurfaces in Google Photos.

You can block photos of people or places or things that you don’t want to see in these memories from Google Photos.
Note:We tested this feature in Google Photos app version 6.95.0.663027175 on our Samsung Galaxy S24 smartphone.
What it can do:
Here’s how it works:
This feature has some caveats. When you select faces, these people will not appear in your Memories when they are the only person in the photo. However, a group photo with that person or pet might reappear. In that case, you can use the date feature to further narrow down. Also, you can either see less of someone or completely block them which should work better.
We are running Google Photos version 6.95.0.663027175 on our Samsung Galaxy S24 smartphone.
