Google Photos adding option to tailor your memories based on your activity،
Google Photos is adding another feature intended to make your treasured memories more easily accessible and enjoyable. In addition to the recently expanded rollout of automatic stacks (which organize similar photos together), Google revealed a new setting called “activity-based personalization.” This powerful feature enhances the “Memories” section of the app.
What is activity-based personalization?
The Memories section, which you may recognize as that carousel of photos and videos at the top of the Google Photos app, can now be configured to learn from your actions within it. Activity-based personalization learns how you interact with memories (those you linger on and those you can ignore) and uses that information to make them more relevant. According to 9to5Google, activity-based personalization is enabled by default, allowing you to get the most out of Memories right away. However, you can easily disable this setting at any time. If you do so, data about your Memories interactions from the last 18 months will be deleted. Don't worry, though; It won't affect your photo library, your other memories, or the creations generated by Google Photos.

Google Photos is a great app for saving and enjoying photos and videos, and this new feature joins a range of options already available to personalize your experience. It's great to see that the app continues to improve and offer more options to those who choose it as a keeper of their past memories.
