Merging albums

Question: Merging albums

How can I merge photos of one albums into another, without having to select/move individual photos?

  1. In album A you can select multiple or all photos.  See   Select multiple pictures
  2. Tap "+"  (Create or add to ...)
  3. Tap "Album" for a new album, or tap on the album you want to add them to.


Answer:

There are no dates listed!  Since I don't currently have a computer i need to do this on my iPhone. But the only option available is I have to tap each pic individually- can't even sweep over them. The thing is there are over 200 pics in that album. It would help if there is a way to show the dates at least then I can tap by group of pics instead of one by one.

Answer:

There are no dates listed in albums, but I can on an iPad and iPhone:
  1. press the first photo till selected
  2. swipe to the last one to select them all


Answer:

There are no dates listed in albums, but I can on an iPad and iPhone:

Question: How do I revoke old Picassa links that give access to my Google photo albums?

I've just learned that all the public links I had shared to my Picasa photo albums many years ago st…

I've just learned that all the public links I had shared to my Picasa photo albums many years ago still work - they now redirect to the albums in Google Photos. The problem is I no longer want these photo albums to be public, and I have turned off sharing options for them. But even with the sharing options turned off, these old Picassa links still redirect to the albums. How do I revoke access through these links?

Answer:

These old links probably do not open your public albums on Google Photos, but in your archive from Picasaweb at https://get.google.com/albumarchive And you can not change their settings into non-public - thereby it makes no difference to switch-off any sharing of the identical albums on https://photos.google.com/albums
Basically there is no solution for this problem, but I don't think that these old album really are public anymore - unless they also are used in your public blog or site. You can try to check that in the incognito-window of your browser via Google Image search. 
Else the only solution would be to delete all these albums one-by-one on Google Photos and then their original contents will stay in the library, but that is accessible by you only.


Answer:

When you open https://get.google.com/albumarchive in an incognito window you will only see what is public.

Answer:

That's Jan if you open with https://get.google.com/albumarchive/xxxxxxx where xxxxxx is your 21-digit Google-ID. But in general many used "public-albums" on Picasaweb until August 2016 just for the comfort of having one link for all without much care about privacy. 
But can you say something about how "public" these albums still are on the level of incognito websearch???


Answer:

@Rinus
I could not find my albums by searching with the title and my name, but I can easily find your long ID number in Google+, which gives me access to your public albums. I see "Photos from posts\

Answer:

Of course Jan, but these albums are meant to be public - especially the Dropbox-album which contains many screenshots often used on these public Google-forums and not accidentally for personal comfort. 
And if some-one like Julie has no public G+ profile, it is not easy for anyone to find her Google-ID I guess.

Question: How to change the size of png file

Change the size of png file

Hi, Jatin Yadav 10
 
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
 
Do you want to retain the .png extension? Or conversion to .jpg would do?
You can export to .jpg using the Snapseed app by Google.
However, if you wish to retain the .png extension but reduce the size, the Windows Desktop program "Paint would be ideal.​
 


Answer:

Hi, Jatin Yadav 10
 
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
 
To resize your .png file, please use another app "Snap seed" by Google.
Once installed, the editor in Google Photos shows that option through "More".
In the settings of Snap seed, you can do image resizing within a range from 4000 px to 800 px. 
However, select export option as PNG to retain the same file format.

Question: How do you tag a face in photos? Its only recognising some photos and some people

Tag faces

Hi, Chelsea Shaw
 
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
 
If the app has identfied additiona faces, you can follow these steps.
 
You can add a person through the following steps.
 
Tap to open the photo which contains unidentified faces & then slide up or tap the three dots .
If the app had failed to include some faces in that picture, then you will see a prompt "XX faces available to add".
 
Tap the edit icon at the extreme right edge. (An icon of a pencil ).
 
That will show identified faces in square boxes & their thumbnails at the bottom.
Tap on the + sign on each thumbnail. 
Then the app will show you all the identified faces till that time.
You can select the right one.
 
If not, tap the + sign at the top right corner of the screen.
That would create a new grouping altogether.
 
Once created, the app may take some time to bring all the related pictures to this new grouping.
Otherwise, you can go through the collection & add the photos to the newly created group, manually, through the same steps as described above.
 
PS. The edit feature may not be available in some regions. If you happen to be from that, then regretfully nothing can be done.

Question: Back up is stuck for Google photos

Why are my Google photos back up stuck.all my photos are not showing

The Photos app shows the pictures on your phone in the selected folders under Pictures on device on the Library-page. 
The Camera-folder is selected always, but other folders should be switched-on if they are relevant. 
You only will see the switch if the general backup is switched-on under your profile. 
Perhaps this helps. 
Else come back and be more clear.

Hi Giampaolo,
 
I recommend that you look for your photos here, signing in with all your Google accounts if you have more than one:
I also recommend that you go through these steps for troubleshooting missing photos https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6306652


Answer:

I'm an astronomy and space popularizer, a Google enthusiast, and a co-host of the first Italian space podcast since 2007.Having been fully in the Google ecosystem since the start I have extensive experience with its products. I was an early adopter of the search engine in 1998 and Android in 2009. As a member of the Top Contributors, and later Product Experts Program, I have been helping users in the official support forums since 2013.

Answer:

Perhaps you are thinking that if you have got a new account for your new smartphone, that all old photos and albums can be veiwed via that new account also. 
But you have to sign-in with your old account used for Picasaweb on https://get.google.com/albumarchive to see your Picasa-albums back. 
Maybe you are a victim of the very last changes at Google to get rid of "Picasa" forever. 

If you find your albums in that archive, it is adviced to download them one-by-one to your computer. 
Then their contents can be uploaded to Google Photos at your new account. 

Just guessing of course, because these old stories are very mysterious and no Google here. 
Good luck

Hi, Harsha HL Reddy
 
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
 
The free up option removes the originals of backed up pics from the phone.
That creates space to capture new photos.
Restoring the backed up pictures would be defeating the whole purpose of the free up space exercise.
 
To bring back the pics to your phone's gallery either, you can download photos one by one.
Regrettably, there is no option to do so on a batch of photos.
 
Alternatively, you can install the Google One app. There is a one time option to restore up to two hundred most recent photos to the device.
However, that will not restore the local folder structure.
There is no requirement to join Google One. The option is available to everyone. 
However, the method may not be helpful to recover something when the count is more than two hundred.
 
Or, you can arrange for a bulk download by visiting the link https://takeout.google.com/.
Select the Google Photos app for data download.
Once the file is ready, you will get an email. Access that & unzip all the attachments into your phone's gallery.
 
That will bring everything to your phone.
 
Still, for more information, I suggest you visit this link.

Answer:

Hi, Matt Joseph 2360
 
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
 
When the quantum of photos to awaiting the free up action is too large & also the phone has very little space, the "free up space" command fails to do anything. 
The app may also crash.
 
To mitigate the problem, please start deleting manually. 
To do so, tap to open the photo. If you find an option "Delete from device" below the pic, tap that.
 
Once a sizable space is free, you can use the "Free up space" option without any glitch.
However, before deleting any picture, it's always prudent to copy those on some external HDD. That eliminates the chance of any accidental loss of the media from the phone or cloud.
