Need help, Google Photos has enabled search photos by people in my account. Problem is, I want to change the default photo used to label by family members and friends? How do I change the default photo that Google Photos has assigned?

I managed to create a Google Photo Album and upload many photos to this album using the Google Photo API.
I need also using Google Photo API again, to select only a couple of these photos and create a url in order to share this.
I would appreciate any help,

I am building a website using React and Redux to search facebook photos through tags like my Friends name or by location. User needs to login with facebook so that the application can read its pictures. A user simply puts in the search filters like Tagged users or the location of the picture and my app will show results based on the filters. This will help to find old photos with friends which sometimes get lost on social media due to a large number of photos present(Uploaded or Tagged)
I am trying to fetch mutual photos of me and my friends using my access token and trying to read the tags present in the photos through API but the Response contains only my name in the tags and not other people who are tagged in that photo.
Is there any way to fetch the users who are tagged on a photo uploaded? Any help is appreciated.

Access to any data involving your friends is only possible if those friends specifically authorized your App too. You cannot even get an ID of a friend if he did not authorize your App.
Yes, in order to access involving your friend to authorize your app. But from the details i can see that,
"A user access token may read a photo that the current user is tagged in if they have granted the user_photos or user_posts permission. However, in some cases the photo's owner's privacy settings may not allow your application to access it."
Note: Just need to verify users privacy setting once again.
I'm using the Google Photos Java API to create a small program to access the contents of a pre-existing album. I have been able to get code up and running that can report the album's name, and the media items it contains and so on, but not the text added between photos. I understand that the API considers these texts a form of enrichment and I can see there are functions for adding such enrichments to an album, but is there any way to list the enrichments already in an album? Or otherwise access the text a user has previous added between photos via the platform's desktop browser interface?
Unfortunately the Google Photos Library API does not provide a way to access existing album enrichments when accessing the contents of an album.
This has been filed as a feature request on the issue tracker for the API. You can 'star' it to draw attention to it and be notified of any updates: https://issuetracker.google.com/129050144
I checked through the api's but I may have missed it, if it exists... I can't find a write/modify api call to change move a photo from one user album to another (such as can be done via FB's web interface by editing the album and use the pull down for each image to move them one by one.
Essentially I just want to modify for an image the enclosing album id. I don't want to download from one album and upload to another as I want all the tags and comments to remain intact (as well as the photo's id)....
My goal is to create a simple app to be able to move all (or a selection) of photos from one album to another, ie. "merge albums" since FB's web interface does not have that functionality. I have a ton of albums I created in 2009 when the limit was 60 photos per album so now that the limit is 200 I want to reduce my album count by over 67%...
There is no API to remove photos, so effectively all you can do via the API is copy, you'd then have to remove the extraneous albums manually using Facebook's web interface
If I upload images to an album on my facebook PAGE (not profile) via facebooks website then other (non admin) users of that page can tag themselves in the photos. I have set that up in my page preferences.
"Posting Ability: People can add tags to photos by (PAGE NAME)"
However if I use the GRAPH API to upload the photos to an album on my facebook PAGE then only admin users can tag themselves. I am sure this was not always the case.
Here is an example of two images in the same album, one can be tagged the other not!
Image uploaded by the api:

Image uploaded via the facebook website:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=342651955784873&set=a.310794905637245.113595.170367249680012&type=3&theater
I would be very grateful if anyone could let me know why this is happening
The solution is rather simple. The non-admin user must have Liked the page before they can tag someone. I Liked your page and I had the option to tag users in both images...
