In a world where storage feels cheap, our photo libraries can be filled with thousands of pictures from different eras in our lives — some good and some full of unpleasant memories. This is why it can be painful when certain faces appear in the Google Photos memory highlight.

According to a new code breakdown from Android Authority, Google appears set to help you recover from a bad memory by hiding certain faces in the Memories feature.

Android Authority's APK teardown points to a potential future update where Google makes hiding unwanted people from your photo feed much easier.

According to Android Authority, the feature looks "basically done." However, that doesn't mean it will get a release or come out soon. With Google launching the Pixel 9 series in a couple of weeks, perhaps we'll see more about these photo changes then.
