Thankfully, Google Photos is rolling out a new function that allows you to bookmark a certain individual to make it simpler to email them "Full Quality" images.

Therefore, you won't have to go through several contacts and services to discover the people you know, who are typically the first to get the newest images of pets and babies or the greatest jokes Reddit bots may repost on any given day. And it's currently spreading out, as 9to5Google noticed.

Users will be asked to add their favorite person when they use the new favorite function. It may be your partner, your parents, your closest friend, or just someone who is smitten with your new dog.

In the event that you need to rearrange your priorities, you may also switch the favorite. Navigate to Settings and choose Sharing Favorite. Regretfully, you can only use one at a time. So you had best make that decision matter.
