How to use the Favourite shortcut in Google Photos

To utilize this feature, users need to navigate to Library > Utilities > Add favourite shortcut. From there, they can select the person they wish to designate as their favourite. Once chosen, this individual will be prominently displayed in the sharing menu, making it easy to share photos with them with just a few taps.

It's important to note that users can only have one favourite person at a time. If they wish to change their favourite contact, they can do so by going to Settings > Sharing > Favourite contact. Currently, this feature is exclusively available for Android users with Google Photos app version 6.76 or later.

In addition to this update, the OnePlus Photos app now offers integration syncs with Google Photos. Users can enable this feature within the application's settings, allowing them to back up their photos directly to Google Photos and access their entire Google Photos library from the OnePlus app.

These enhancements aim to simplify the photo-sharing experience for users, making it more convenient and efficient. Whether you're sharing cherished memories with your favourite person or backing up your photos seamlessly, these features are designed to enhance your Google Photos experience.
