iOS 15 Finally Lets You Block Your Exes From Ruining Your Photo Memories

I guess everybody is different.
When my ex-girlfriend and I broke up, we didn't stay friends either. We moved with our lives, each one to each side. As a photographer, I took lots of pictures of her, of us and of our trips together. The only photos I didn't erase are photos of me and photos of the places we visited. I don't want photos of her or us, and she didn't want photos of me either. Everything got to trash.
So yeah, I understand some people don't think that way and still want to keep memories of their exes, but when someone mentioned deleting the photos, those were not the target.
Plus, PLEASE stop talking about people passed away in this "why not delete the photos" topic. I was not the subject.

Yeah or sync them to Dropbox and look at them when they’re done crying that everyone else except them is “toxic.” 🙄
Well if it’s a recent breakup, it’s not something you want to be reminded of for the next couple of days, weeks, years, or decades.
Most people will regret deleting these photos because they realize they can still have fun with these photos when they move on and get over it.
Lmao unfortunately if your exes have an iOS with iMessage - if you’ve blocked them they can still message/call you and get through. NOT ideal.
Also if you block an iOS contact should not any previously shared location be blocked or disabled as well? Shared folders in iCloud too?!
iOS team needs to think deeper and simpler on functionality before going into new features.
For those with messy breakups, all you need to do is hire @AngerDanger to photoshop the person of your dreams into your pictures. That way, you never have to worry about getting rid of photos from someone you no longer like.
What's to think about? The feature is simple: you can decide to prevent stuff from showing up in the Memories. Period.
The reasons why are up to you.
As painful as relationships can be at times, I don't regret going through the tough times. It can make you stronger as a person and as a couple.
Nothing better than finding the woman who becomes your friend, your best friend, and lover. When a woman kisses you so deep inside your soul that you are never the same, that is the kind of love that takes your breath away and challenges you to be a better man.
Because macOS Music is a trash fire embarrassment?
For anyone that needs this now, there's already a way to do this in Big Sur/iOS 14 photos. On the Mac, if you open a memory, you can see the people that are recognized as being in that memory, and if you double click on the person and then scroll to the bottom there is already a "suggest this person less" option. Similarly on iOS, open the memory, tap on the "person" recognized as being in that memory, tap the "..." in the top right corner, and again you can suggest that person less.
I guess this iOS 15 update just makes the control more obvious? Or did MacRumors not know this already existed?

One year ago today you took seven blurry, upside down photos of your TVs inputs in order to figure out which direction the bumps go.
*ah memories*
This is great for quick work, and Apple is thoughtful to include this as an option. However, I tend to take it as an opportunity to spring-clean my photos and to keep the library more relevant to me in the time.
So, I have a copy of the library stashed elsewhere that includes life gone by, with memories best left buried, and I have my iCloud Photos Library containing only the photos relevant to me today. If I ever want a stroll down those memory lanes, I can always open that library and close it back when done.
This also keeps my iCloud storage in check and I can access my photos quicker when I am searching for something.
