Google has been steadily adding features to Google Photos, and a recent addition is the ability to archive images from your main stream. The feature comes in handy if you're looking to get your pictures more organized within Photos, or if you want to move a few images off the main view.
You can manually archive photos, and Google will also notify you to clear the clutter if it notifies a lot of duplicate images in your timeline. Archived photos still show up in albums and search, but it's an easy way to keep your main timeline free of clutter.
