However, when I tried to put a few photos into a “group” to share, Amazon Photos required the recipient sign in to see the photos - essentially forcing you to sign up for a free Amazon account in order to see the photo group.

I shared photos via the mobile app, via text, and other standard options and it allowed non-Amazon users to simply view the photo via the link on the web without any sign-in required. Turning it off does appear to disable the ability of the app and service to categorize images by type, such as, plants, technology (wristwatch is how a few of the photos were tagged, though none were watches), food, or art, for example.Ī nice feature for a backup service, there are simple editing tools in the mobile app that let you do some of the basics like crop, use filters (change to black and white, add shadows, colors), add stickers. I left it on for this test and it didn’t immediately show me any names or group people together. Amazon Photos has a “default setting of on” for Image Recognition that you may want to turn off. Given some recent privacy issues for a variety of large social media companies as well as companies like Amazon and Google, let’s briefly talk about the last bullet in the above list.
