TL;DR<\/p>\n
Google Photos<\/a> is great for photo editing and media management, but it\u2019s also pretty good for sharing photos with others. There is one caveat, though: You cannot search for anything in the images that others share with you, at least from what we can gather.\u00a0Users have suggested that you need to save shared photos to your account first<\/a> to be able to search for them, which isn\u2019t very apparent to most users. Google has been working to fix that by directly opening up the ability to search for photos from albums shared with you on Google Photos.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve spotted the first round of code in Google Photos v7.31:<\/p>\n Code<\/p>\n Copy TextSearch can show photos of people, pets, and more, including those that have been shared with you.

As the description states, Google Photos will soon be able to search for people, pets, and more in all your photos, including photos shared with you.<\/p>\n In Google Photos v7.39, Google added code for a filter that would let users include and exclude photos shared with them (just in case you have been spammed with images you don\u2019t care about).<\/p>\n Code<\/p>\n Copy TextInclude shared with me<\/p>\n Curiously, there is no filter yet to search only in photos shared with you.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n With Google Photos v7.45, we managed to activate the info card mentioned in the above strings:<\/p>\n AssembleDebug \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n Unfortunately, the feature doesn\u2019t yet work for us, which makes sense since it is still a work in progress. We\u2019ll update you when it starts working or when we learn more about its functionality.<\/p>\n \u26a0\ufe0f<\/strong> An APK teardown<\/strong> helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.<\/p>\n
