In 2015 the Mountain View company launched Google Photos: a system of organizing and collecting personal images in a highly ordered structure known as a “photographic library”. Three years later it evolves, introducing the new archive function, which allows the user to Google Photos how to hide private images when third party viewing the gallery.
Designed for items containing highly sensitive data and with a nod to the new regulations regarding the privacy, the google photos archive feature allows selective management of the images to be displayed by rendering hidden certain elements without necessarily having to delete them.
Archived images will be always available anyway for the user and can be entered, at any time, in the main stream through the item restore.
To hide private images, in addition to standard archiving, it is also possible to use an advanced type of functionality which, through the Pattern Recognition of Google, takes advantage of the recognition of the elements present in a photo. In other words, the function itself suggests what to hide based on common characteristics such as blurred or blurred shots.
The function archive it will not apply exclusively to the management of future images but will also allow you to hide all the photos already published, introducing a new era of more responsible and aware sharing.
