Not sure if this is an actual bug, but it was present on the Nexus 6P since Oreo, and Google has opened a bug tracker for it. Says fix maybe in future release. Now same thing present on Pixel 2 XL. Pictures from 3rd party camera apps not appearing in Google Photos.

HI - I have a Pixel XL and like a lot about the phone, but I LOVE the photo app for the Galaxy S7 or Note 5. Is there any way to load the Samsung Photo apk on a pixel? If so, any tips are appreciated.
Same request here.. If anyone can help..
I wish we could, I have been trying to. The problem is, Google use to primarily function as the developer that produces software to operate on all of the devices running Android, so if you had a Samsung phone you could install any application for the most part off the play store or published by Google. We are now however in uncharted waters where users now own a Google device and are looking to run software from another manufacturer. Unlike Google Samsung doesn't give there software away for free as open source, they sell their software as part of the package in buying one of their devices.
It's a bad situation since Samsung built their photo gallery from Google's com.android.gallery.3d, but than stopped developing the app all together once they decided to merge their Google photos app with the standard device gallery. It was at that point that Samsung developed the app further, adding all the features such as playing video with the devices screen off, advanced tile viewing above 3 photos per line ect, ect.

hi there, i used quickpic. seems to work with the album flow.
So before I updated to the February build I had the visual core switch in developer options. I think it said CAL HDR+ or something like that. After updating yesterday, I factory reset my phone, and then enabled developer options again...only this time the option to turn on the visual core is missing. Is it now just on by default with the February update?
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Yes, it's on by default...
The February update enables the visual core for 3rd party services. For example snapchat on android phones because there are so many devices and setups what snapchat does is uses the camera view finder to get the pictures and then captures what's on the screen to take the pictures or video. That's why iPhones always have better snapchat photos and videos.
Now since Google has released the visual core to 3rd parties. What snapchat can do no is actually take full advantage of the camera on our phones

Yeah but I just meant there used to be a switch for it in developer options. The switch is no longer there after the February update. Just making sure it was turned on officially and there was no need for the switch any more.

that is exactly the case.
Is there a camera APK floating around somewhere that has Google Lens embedded in it? Is there (possibly) a beta program that one could join?
@Eduardo1974: What phone do you have? If you have a Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, or Pixel 2 XL you should already have it as part of Google Camera. If you have a LG G7 or new devices from Motorola, Sony, Nokia, OnePlus and Asus it will eventually be integrated into each company's camera app. If you have anything else or aren't willing to wait, install Google Photos, as there is no beta program and Photos includes Google Lens
I have a Pixel 2 XL. The Google Lens icon shows up in my Photos app as well as when I trigger the Google Assistant, but not when the camera itself is launched.
When I take a picture the Google Lens icon will show as an option when viewing the photo I took, but when I just flat-out launch the camera there is no Google Lens icon that I can see. Is that how it's supposed to be set up?
Yes.
Oh I too thought they were adding a lens option right in the camera. Maybe I was wrong.
It has to have something to analyze, thus you can't use use it "live". You have to take the picture first and then use it. Or in the case of Google Photos, you have to select a picture and then use Google Lens.
On my pixel 2 XL once in the Google assistant at the bottom right you can hit the Google lens button and it opens the camera to a live use.

Google Lens is "compatible" on Tab S4 (WiFi, SM-T830) but the Google app (Lens is included in this app) crashes all the time. That is my problem.
When I want open Google Lens over different ways, Google Lens crashes. I tried to open it in Google Photos and with the Lens Launcher app from the Play Store. Sometimes Google Lens re-launches after the crash in Google Photos and it works.
Google Lens is available in my country and it works on my OnePlus. I am also logged in. That's not the reason for the crash.
I also tried different versions of the Google app and I also resetted my Galaxy Tab S4. The issue is present since the start and the update to Pie didn't solve it.
The answer of the Samsung support was: please contact Google.
Does anyone have an idea to fix the issue or to get the reason for it?
I would suggest to reflash the whole system.
I am not interested to root the tablet or install a custom rom.
the same problem after update pie9 on T830 - the application closes continuously - crashes...
(on my op5 oos 9.0.5 works very well without problem )

TL;DR:
You can download the modded Open Camera app for the Pixel 6 Pro from the project’s GitHub repository. Note that the modded app only supports the Pixel 6 Pro, and it won’t work on the regular Pixel 6. As the developer notes, the modded Open Camera app isn’t as capable as the stock camera app on the Pixel 6 Pro. But, at least, it works.

Facing issues with the Pixel 6 Pro’s camera app? Try this Open Camera modAlthough the Pixel 6 lineup has received rave reviews, the latest flagships from Google are far from perfect. Over the last few months, we’ve seen several reports of Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro users facing various issues, ranging from poor fingerprint scanner performance to sub-par network connectivity. While Google has addressed some of these issues via software updates, the company is yet to fix an annoying issue with the default camera app on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro that makes the device unusable.
We’ve come across various reports on Google’s support website and Reddit claiming that the default camera app on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro crashes frequently and makes the device unusable. Whenever this issue pops up, users are left with no choice but to hard reboot their device, making the entire ordeal rather annoying.
Some users report that factory resetting the phone doesn’t seem to help either, and the issue persists even after installing the February 2022 update, which included a fix for the “issue causing device reboot when using camera in certain conditions.” Fed up with the issue, a Pixel 6 Pro user has released a modded version of the Open Camera app that offers disgruntled users temporary relief.
As mentioned in several reports, the issue seems to be limited to the default camera app on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Third-party camera apps, like Open Camera, seem to work as intended. However, since Open Camera doesn’t support the Pixel 6 Pro’s ultra-wide camera and has a tricky zoom slider, it isn’t an ideal alternative to the stock camera app. Thankfully, the modded Open Camera build from Cameron Kaiser offers a relatively better solution.
The modded Open Camera app for the Pixel 6 Pro adds a button on the screen that makes the zoom a bit easier to control. Although it still doesn’t include support for the ultra-wide camera, it’s better than using the stock camera app for one simple reason — it doesn’t crash. So, if you’ve been facing this camera crashing issue on your Pixel 6 Pro, you should give it a go.
You can download the modded Open Camera app for the Pixel 6 Pro from the project’s GitHub repository. Note that the modded app only supports the Pixel 6 Pro, and it won’t work on the regular Pixel 6.

I'm sure its not universal. If it was a problem for MOST/ALL people, then you can bet that gooble would fix it pretty fast.
