Google Photos

Sharing is a theme of today’s Google Photos updates, too. We’re adding Chromecast support to give you that old-school slideshow experience—dimmed lights optional. In the U.S., you can now add private labels to your photos to make it easier to search for specific pics of people with things, places or other people—say, that photo of Mom at the Grand Canyon, or of your daughter with her pet bunny. And soon you’ll be able to pool all your photos and videos with friends and family in one place, and get updates as soon as new photos are added. Best of all, there’s no setup involved, and you can use any device. So that dance party we mentioned earlier? Now it’s easier to gather all the memories from everyone who was there.

It's a useful feature. Though you still cannot remove identified faces from the People search. Naming faces allows you to merge same people who are listed separately.

• Now in more countries: Finding the perfect photo of your best friend or family member just got easier. See similar faces grouped together in Search, and privately label faces to quickly search for the person you're looking for. Tap the search button to get started.

Face grouping will be available in Latin America, Canada, the Caribbean, Australia, and New Zealand. It will also be available in parts of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

• Hide a person from appearing under People. This also prevents events with that person from appearing in "Rediscover this day" cards in the Assistant. (I wanted this)

• When viewing search results, pinch to zoom in and out.

• Spooky fast performance improvements and bug fixes.

How does promotional space work after your plan expires? Do they delete your stuff?

Your account kind of becomes read-only. You have access to all your data. But you cannot add more to it. This also means that mails sent to your Gmail account bounces back because there is no storage space. The account remains read only till you drop below the allocated storage space.
