How one Google Photos feature is saving my photo library from chaos

As a Google Photos user for over 10 years, with thousands of photos in my library, it’s safe to say that things often get chaotic. I regularly delete unwanted photos and try to organize them into albums, but even then, managing a library this large can still be a massive undertaking.

One of the biggest issues I have is with my main Photos page often looking horribly messy. I’m someone who takes a lot of similar pictures, whether of my pets, partner, a sunset, etc. I like having multiple angles/shots to capture a moment, and while it’s great for looking back on those memories, it also means my gallery of pictures is crowded with countless similar-looking photos.
