Google Photos Will Now Automatically Share Your Snaps

Haven’t uploaded those Memorial Day barbeque photos to Facebook and tagged your friends yet? You might decide not to, now that Google Photos can do much of the legwork for you.

Google Photos has changed a lot since its early days as the much-beloved Picasa desktop application. Its latest update(Opens in a new window), rolling out this week, is a new shared libraries feature infused with artificial intelligence.

When you snap a shot of someone you’ve photographed before, Google Photos will now automatically recognize the person’s face and suggest that you share the photo with him or her. The app will even suggest the best shots of an event with multiple people, and offer you a list of potential sharing recipients. You can modify the list before sending invites, which will show up in the recipient’s own Google Photos account, or, if they haven’t sign up, will arrive in their email inbox.

If multiple Google Photos users are at the same event, Google says they may get a reminder to add their photos to a shared album. That could be useful for a small barbeque, for instance, but likely won’t happen if you’re at a big concert or sporting event.

In addition to sharing suggestions, you’ll now be able to manually create a list of people like your spouse and kids who you always want to have access to your photos. You can restrict this automatic sharing by the date the photo was taken or by who’s in the photo.

Whether or not automatic sharing prompts appear is up to Google’s always-learning artificial intelligence algorithms, which are already used to identify faces in photos. Google announced the automatic sharing feature last month, and it’s part of several other recent AI innovations from the company that range from automatic doodles to more accurate language translation.
