how break terminal after oppening an app on ubuntu?

So let's say we open an app on ubuntu with terminal. e.x. 

user$gnome-photos

there will be displayed some text with different information about the app events and etc.(i think)and since this is displayed, you cannot run another command , until you terminate the app. Is there any way to bypass this and be free to type anything other while the app you launched before , is still runninb ?

Yes. Run gnome-photos & in the command line to spawn it in a child process or (gnome-photos &) to spawn it in a new process.

You can simply put an & at the end to put the app in the background:

As in:

user$ gnome-photos &

Once that's done you can "disown" the job.

user$ disown %1

%1 is the job specification, you type it as is.
