There is no way to get back the content through Google Photos.

Question: My photos have been deleted without my input or permission
My phone has often been out of internet access for this trip and I am finding photos missing from it…
My phone has often been out of internet access for this trip and I am finding photos missing from it that I took TWO DAYS AGO. I had tried sending some of these to friends yesterday, and today all photos BUT the ones I tried sending are gone. This includes photos I didn't even look at. I marked NONE of these photos for deletion, but they are simply GONE. Some were necessary for damage warranty claims regarding my rental. Furthermore, I have found multiple claims of similar things happening in the past to other Google customers, all of whom have received generic automated responses from Google and had their posts locked to prevent reply. Some of these posts were from 9 months ago! This kind of dysfunction enters lawsuit territory and should prompt legal action if Google continues to ignore it. What do I have to do to get Google to acknowledge what is a major malfunction in its software and task an actual human being to address it?

Question: Adding sound to video
How do I add sound to video?
Hi, patty martin 9928
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
You can't edit sound in a video.
However, you can compose a movie using that video & then change the music through the following steps.
To change the music in the automatic creations, please follow these steps.
- Tap to open the movie.
- Tap once again to make the controls visible.
- Tap the edits symbol below the movie
- That will show the next page & there you will find the music symbol ♪. Tap on that.
- The pop-up screen will show the following options "My music" "Theme Music" or "No music".
- My music allows replacing the current music with your recording in MP3 format.
- Theme music shows the entire collection available through Google under various headings. Select any that you like. Once selected, tap on the tick mark at the top right corner.
- Save the edited movie.

Hi, Cris downs
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
I believe you want to take a screenshot.
The steps to take a screenshot vary between phone models & android versions.
However, if you have activated OK Google or Hey Google detection on your phone, the easiest way would be to say, "Hey Google take a screenshot". Then the Google assistant will do the work for you. However, once the screenshot is ready, upload that through Google Photos.
Nevertheless, the following are the standard methods to take a screenshot.
- Long press the power button & tap on the menu option "Screenshot".
- Press the volume down & power button simultaneously.
- Press the volume down & home button simultaneously.
- Press the power button & home button simultaneously.
- Pull down the notification panel & look for the screenshot option.
You may try all these.

The change in storage policy can't cause the photos to delete.
Google Photos never removes any pic without any user initiated action.
Nevertheless, had you backed up your pics to Google Photos?
If yes, then you would find the deleted pics in the bin, provided you have not emptied the bin also.

My google pixel phone restarted by itself a couple days ago and now has been acting very strange especially with photos.
Answer:
@James
If they never were back-upped a full phone need a week to do that. And starting the free-up function will not start backupping before deleting - it just should report how many GB's can be removed from phone, but if hardly anything is backupped, it refuses to do its job or it simply can't do it because of having no working space. So blame your wife instead of Google :-)
First close all apps and restart the phone. Then check what really is saved at photos.google.com in the Chrome-app - maybe almost nothing or very old ones only. And then it becomes hard, because you need to make some space via the Files-app manually by deleting what you have seen at Google first to get some air for normal operation of the Google Photos app.
Then check under its profile circle if backup is running and if the backup setting is okay. And that should go on until "backup ready" is shown. Thereafter: try to free-up again.
Good luck
PS: best to connect the charger to prevent slowing down the backup speed due to battery saving. And don't use the Google Photos app for deleting because it will delete the backup as well as the originals.

Answer:

I don't what this problem has to do with Google Photos, but if that app has done its job correctly, you still may have the uncorrupted backup-files at photos.google.com in the Chrome-app and as far needed some can be downloaded back to phone.
Then you should delete the corrupted files in the Files-app as far as possible.
We can do no more.
