To mark a photo as favorite, just open it in full screen mode and then tap the star icon present towards the top right. And to take a look at all your favorite photos, head to the Albums tab.

Google says the feature will start rolling out this week. Moving on, the company also announced users will soon also be able to heart photos shared with them.

Coming soon, you can give some love to the photos your friend just shared. Look out for the ♥️ icon when viewing a shared album or photo. pic.twitter.com/C2OVsyX3fO
