I would submit a feedback every time I missed the feature while using the app.

I can now stop using Google Photos. :D

    How do you tag your dog? I search for mine using the “dog” tag but it doesn’t give me an option to add him as a tagged person unfortunately

      Find a good photo of your dog, swipe up, and you should see an icon of your dog there. Just tap that, add a name, and you should see your dog in the people and pets album

      Go to search tab in Photos and there should be a “People & Pets” section. Scroll through that till you find your dog’s bubble. Tapping that should bring up some results and an “unnamed pet” box at the bottom. Tapping that will bring up a profile of your pet, tapping the “Add Name” header will let you name your pet.

        My people section still only says people, maybe I need to check what version I’m on and all that…

        Is this a regional release only?

      I haven’t used the public beta yet. If it is not in the beta yet, then perhaps it will be in a future beta iteration or the final release.

    I have enough trouble getting it to let me tag kids or people who aren’t directly face on. Is it too much to ask for a way to manually select an area of the photo and tag it as a person who hasn’t been recognised as a person?

        It’s kind of annoying that a lot of features are locked behind a Mac, but I guess most of the features that require a Mac google photos lacks entirely…

        Thanks, I’ll have a look. I have a Mac but rarely use the photos app on it. Any time I open it I have wait for it to download any new photos so I usually just use the iOS app instead of waiting.

          Just open the photos and open the info panel (cmd+i). Then just click the plus button where the faces go

    I forgot about this feature and just checked it out. It’s remarkably good! My neighbour got 3 almost identical looking cats which are European Shorthair - i sometimes had a hard time telling them apart but Photos could sort them just fine (except for a few minor hiccups).

      Sure does! I have specific year ones “Tass: 2021” and over the years ones “Pugsley over the years”

      Also, great work on Mlem! I’ve been loving it!

    That’s been on Google photos for a bit, only added a different cat to my cat’s folder once… But they’re both calico

    It seems like a simple thing, but I was really looking forward to that feature as well
