How do I automatically add an album in Google Photos?

Answered by Douglas Hiatt

To automatically add an album in Google Photos, you’ll need to follow these steps:

1. Open the Google Photos app on your Android phone or tablet.
2. Sign in to your Google Account if you haven’t already done so.
3. Once you’re signed in, navigate to the album where you want to add photos automatically.
4. At the top right corner of the screen, you’ll see three vertical dots. Tap on these dots to access More Options.
5. From the options menu, select “Add” to start adding photos to the album.
6. A new screen will appear, showing face groups that Google has recognized in your photos. These face groups represent different individuals in your pictures.
7. If you don’t see any face groups, you might need to turn on the face grouping feature. To do this, go back to the main Google Photos screen, tap on the three horizontal lines in the top left corner, then go to Settings > Group similar faces. Make sure this feature is enabled.
8. Once you’ve selected the face groups you want to automatically add to the album, tap on the “Confirm” button at the top right corner of the screen.
9. Google Photos will now continuously monitor your library for photos that match the selected face groups and automatically add them to the album.

It’s worth noting that this process relies on Google’s facial recognition technology to identify and group similar faces in your photos. If you have concerns about privacy or prefer not to use this feature, you can manually add photos to the album instead.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions or need assistance with any other Google Photos features, feel free to ask.
