Google Photos is one of the most used features of the Google suite of products for some, and it’s getting a new feature this week with the option to Favourite a photo, and show someone you love their album.
The favouriting feature will work simply by getting you to tap the ⭐️ button in the top right of the screen to mark a photo as a favourite when you view a picture in Google Photos. Once you’ve favourited a photo, it’s a simple matter of checking out the ‘Favorites’ folder in Google Photos to check them all out.
It’s OK to play favorites. Rolling out this week, tap the ⭐️ button to mark a photo as a favorite. Head to the Albums tab and view all your favorites in one place. pic.twitter.com/eWnSMDKQ72

Google is also adding the option to show people who share an album with you how much you like their album by adding a ♥️.
Coming soon, you can give some love to the photos your friend just shared. Look out for the ♥️ icon when viewing a shared album or photo. pic.twitter.com/C2OVsyX3fO

Google says the Favourite feature will roll out over the next week, but hasn’t said exactly when the option to ♥️ a shared album will show up beyond ‘coming soon’. Keep an eye out for the ⭐️ button on your photo in the next week, and then look out for the ♥️ to show your appreciation.
