Google Photos tests a new function to find images of the person you are looking for

google photos is testing a new feature that combines the facial recognition functions of this application with others of Google Lens and change the icon of the latter to that of Search (Search).

Currently, the video and image storage service of Google has four buttons at the bottom of the interfaceintended for sharing a certain file, editing it, deleting it, or Lens.

If the latter is clicked, the application redirects to this other Google service, which allows the recognition of images and is used, among other things, to translate a text directly into the photograph or search for items similar to those in the image (for example, the clothing worn by the person photographed).

Google Photos also offers users the option to organize photos by faces, so that it is easier to find these photographs if you know who appears in them. These groupings of photos are private and face models are stored locallythat is, on the device itself.

Google is testing a new button that combines the facial recognition features of Google Photos and his ability to create individual albums for each personwith the usual search features of Google Lens.

Now, instead of the Lens button, Google Photos has introduced Search (‘Search’). Once the photograph has been chosen, if this option is pressed, Search is able to detect the people that appear in the image.

If you select one of these people, who will appear with their face framed in a box, Google Photos will direct you to a folder in which they are included all images in which that person appears.

As Android Police has advanced, in photographs with several faces, this feature involves searching for the specific photo album of each of the people who appear in it.

From this medium they remember that the new shortcut does not end the functions of Lens since, in case the user wants to search for a certain garment or translate a text that appears in the photographyou just have to press that object in the photo.

At the moment, this Google feature It is in the testing phase and only some users can access it through the Google Photos app.
