I deleted all my photos from the photos app because it said that I could use it from goggle photos but there is an editing app I want to use but you can only use the photos from the photos app. So I want to move all my photos from google photos to photos.

Hi, Ryunosuke Sato

 

Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.

 

Google Photos allows to edit a picture through any third-party photos editor installed on your phone.

There is no need to download the picture just for the sake of editing.

फोटो कहाँ से लेकर पापुलर में सुरक्षित करें?

Hi, Shiv Kumar Chaurasia

 

Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.

 

I believe you want to mark some pics as favourites.

To do so, open the picture & then tap the five pointed star near the three dots at the top right corner.

 

Nevertheless, marking a photo popular doesn't make that safe.

To do so, you will have to use the locked folder option.

Arshad Warsi 3508,

 

When you attempt to manually empty the trash bin in Google Photos, a warning message box appears that explains you are about to permanently delete those pictures and videos. If you choose to proceed anyway, there is nothing that any of the volunteers in this forum can do to help you recover your pictures. 

 

The information on the following Google Photos Help pages will help you become more familiar with finding, deleting, and restoring your pictures:

Question: Old Album deleted after sharing



When trying to add someone to an old album, (more than 8 years old), the album gets cleared. This happened to me twice, and my friend also had the same experience when trying to do the same thing. The album shows as empty on my phone after sharing.

Answer:

This problem is already escalated, but don't expect a solution before Christmas :-)

So never wait on Google and create a fresh album. The problem may have been caused that the original album was created before the birth of GP in  2015.

Hi, Denver De Boer

 

Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.

 

Regretfully, There is no way to get back the content through Google Photos, if there is nothing in the trash.

 

Nevertheless, you may install to your Android device a deleted photo recovery app (be sure to not pick one that requires rooting) https://play.google.com/store/search?q=recover%20deleted%20photos&c=apps;

and run a scan for anything to recover.

Question: How do I Bluetooth my photos to my laptop

My laptop and phone are paired but I can't find an operation to send my photos on Bluetooth.

But you can upload these photos into https://photos.google.com on your laptop directly and then they also will be showed in the Photos-app on your phone. If you have a lot of picturefolders, you will have to do that one-by-one and especially with video's the uploading will be very slow. 

Else you will have to copy them via an usb-cable and your filemanager to the download folder on your phone and that may be just as complex as trying via bluetooth.

Answer:

Hi Kelly, not really within our experience, you could try searching for help with your make of phone in their forums.

 

I have never tried it but you can open a photo full screen or select multiple the select share and Bluetooth should be an option.

<Screenshots visible online only>

 

 

If it works, please let us know,

 

Thanks,

Peter

Answer:

First you have to set-up the Bluetooth-connection via the settings of your laptop, but even then it stays a very uncomfortable way of sending files which often does not work for reasons completely unclear. 

So I would forget about and use straight downloading from https://photos.google.com unless your internetconnection is very slow. Then the usb-cable stays an good option, but that only works if the files still are stored on the phone and not in cloud only.

Want my Google photos it be arranged by year the picture was taken

When you pinch two fingers together to get monthview and smaller then that would become uncomfortable. But if you hold your finger at the right border for a while, a calendar dial will appear which allows fast scrolling through the your. And on the Library-page you can can create yearalbums (no folders) containing valuable photos only by selecting from the stream via the Add photo button. 

So options enough :-)

PS: albums are stored at Google and don't use additional space in your account and will survive your phone. Folders not and what is called "albums" in a Samsung Gallery are no albums, but folders.

Question: My photo is reversed and the signs in the background are reversed. How do I fix it, flip it?

I cannot reverse the image

If shooted with the normal camera on the back, this should not have happened. 

Unless you took the photo via a large mirror and then it is normal and should not be flipped. 

But stupid enough the Google editor does not contain a flipper, so you need to install the Google Snapseed app which contains a lot of interesting extras and then you can find the flipper in the Rotate-menu. 

But start in the Google editor and then you can find Snapseed under More in the row at the bottom. 

Good luck
