Google Photos will soon more easily let you block someone's face from Memories

One of the best features of Google Photos is the app’s ability to show old photos as a “Memory,” but sometimes showing a specific person isn’t what you want. Now, Google Photos is preparing to make it easier to hide someone’s face from Memories.

Fucking finally. I got one of those Google Home devices for free a few years ago, stuck it in the kitchen, and set the screensaver to be pictures of me, my wife, our son, or our dog. Every chance it got it picked a photo of me with an ex-girlfriend, which is definitely not what you want in your kitchen.
In the end I just set it to pictures of our son or our dog to be safe, because Google just flat out wouldn't let me choose people not to see.
I don't want to delete all the pictures of me with my ex-girlfriends because some of them are the only photos I've got from specific places.
My phone also exclusively recommends pictures of me and my ex partner. The icon on my home screen is always her, every time I open the app at the top it shows "memories" albums of just pictures of her, etc. It already compiles photos of her face, why can't I just select "don't show this again" or something?
I'm not sure if it affects the Google Home device, but it's definitely possible to block certain people already. I did that on my phone because it kept showing things with my ex.
