This is one of the most useful guides I've ever found as it stops Photos asking you for permission every time you delete or edit a photo & also allows edits/deletes made via the web Google Photos to be synced to the phone - Android 11 makes Google Photos annoying to use for some, but there may be a fix

Hello guys, I am looking for the faces sorting in photo gallery. Need to say I **** on the Google photos - they have this option only on the cloud and I wanna sort photos in my phone not somewhere on the server. If I remeber right the old versions of android have this option, but now there is nothing like that....
have camera and gallery set up to automatically upload to Google Photos when on wi-fi. this works fine: i can see the same images on Photos on my G6 as in a desktop browser, photos.google.com.
but photos.google.com, if i delete a photo, i get a dialogue box -- "Items moved to the bin will be removed from Your Google Photos library, All your synced devices, etc." -- but the photo stays in Google Photos on my G6.
it's as though the phone is synced to upload, but not synced when deleted?
anyone have this issue?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Maybe because it is still in the Gallery App and saved in the device?

dunno what's happening.
- Gallery is showing eight images
- Photos is showing nine images
- photos.google.com is showing six images
i would think that the Photos app and photos.google.com would at least sync, right?
Have just realised Google photos back up doesn't back up Samsung motion pictures it just backs up as a normal picture is there anyway to fix or retrieve these pictures so that motion pictures work again ? It seems to back up pixel and iPhone motion pictures but shows no love for Samsung and yes I have the motion picture remover option turned off in Google photos which would only save motion pictures as a normal picture.
Hi! I have similar problem with note9.
1. Live photos that made on samsung camera app on android version lower then 9 not recognizable as motion by google photos. So probably backup can also remove it. But backup in full format, download it back to phone and try to play it with samsung gallery. Not sure, but it should keep file as is, without reformatting. This works in this way on my wife's S8+ (still android 8.0)
2. After I got android 9 on my note9, with new samsung camera app, live photos detected as "motion included" in google photos.
But not playable in google photos (same via web), export to video of gif gives an error too.
Full size backup and restore keeps the motion.
Smells like google photos service bug, but looks like google don't care.
Now, when I retested all this behaviour..
Now, when I retested all this behaviour, google photos restore live photos without motion!!!
Attached screenshots.
After upgrade to the April 5 ,Android Q beta 2 update, the camera folder suddenly disappeared altogether from Google photos!!
The photos are still there on the device if I go to a file manager but are not appearing in Google photos, the whole camera folder (and all other on device photos) is gone.
I downloaded another gallery app to test and the on device photos appear in some and not in others,wherever they do appear the photo file size appears as 0 bytes in the gallery ,even though file manager shows they are 3-4 mb.
Anybody else who experienced this and any way to resolve this ?
Cheers
I just noticed the same bug. When I take a photo and click on the image, the camera app crashes and google photos does not recognize the new pictures. They are viewable in the file manager.
I cannot replicate this bug on my device.
I found the fix. You have to re-enable permissions to photos & videos for the camera apk and google photos apk. The update must have broken the permissions.
Every time that I take a screenshot using my Oppo A52, the Google Photos automatically saves this screenshot to my main camera folder in Google Photos. It's annoying that I have many screenshots crowding the actual photos taken with my camera.
For my previous phones (Motorola g5 plus and Huawei P30), screenshots are automatically saved to the Screenshots folder in Google Photos, and doesn't appear in the main camera folder, where only photos taken with the camera are shown. Does anyone know how I can make this happen with my Oppo A52 ? My Google Photos app on my Oppo A52 doesn't even have a Screenshots folder.
When I googled this to try and find some solutions, some websites suggested downloading a third party app, but I think that's unnecessary given that the other older phones can automatically save screenshots to the screenshots folder without using any third party app.
Can someone please help me, it's annoying that I need to manually delete a screenshot every time that I take a screenshot, in order to prevent screenshots crowding my main camera folder in Google Photos.
Thanks for your help.
I don't think there's an option unfortunately. Only thing I've seen is to use an app called PinSync.
