I tried to create movie from selected photos but even after I selected more than 50 photos "create" button won't appear.
My phone is Google Pixel 2 XL.
Answer:
I might be out to lunch, but they seem to have changed their movie platform. There is no "create movie" link for any albums you create. And it sends you to predetermined movie themes when you select "create movie" ....... I haven't tried to make to make one in a while..... trying to figure it out right now.

Answer:
Theo,
The best way I've found to find all of your black & white pictures is to search for "monochrome" in the Google Photos search box. That will show you all of your black & white images (and probably others that are sepia or just predominantly one color).

Hi Josephine Party!
To do this, you will have to do a few things :
1.
At the top, tap the Menu 
Settings > Backup & sync > turn off
Open the section for the folder and turn off each
After > tap the Menu 
Settings > tap you account > menu
Select "— Remove active account". This will deactivate the application and connectivity with your account will no longer be.
2.
Go to Photos via https://photos.google.com
> select from 200 to 500 files at a time: with an effort, tap on the first photo and lead a finger down, look at the top left of the number of selected photos> delete in Trash, and so you delete all the photos.
Then clear Trash.
But at the same time it is worth remembering that if you clear Trash, then all the files are permanently deleted without the possibility of recovery

I just found out that all my photos that were in albums from 2014 - 2016 are gone. I synced them via the web interface, and today I noticed all the previously uploaded photos are gone: Gone from the web and gone from the app. I never deleted them, I checked the bin, I checked the correct username. To no avail. All my pics from the albums 2014 - 2016 appear to be lost.

Answer:
Hi Patrick,
Welcome to the Google Photos Help Community.
I certainly understand the importance of being able to view photos. Please ensure that you're signed in to the right account on your device and check for the following things:
- Are they in the trash: https://photos.google.com/trash.
- If you suddenly lost your photos, they might have a different date. If a photo is added from a device with different date and time settings, the timestamp may be wrong. Learn how to change timestamps on photos.
- On your computer, open photos.google.com/search/_tra_. Check your recent photos.
- If it's not there, search for the photo using the right dates or keywords. At the top, type what you want to find, like "dogs", "New York City", or someone's name (if you've labeled your photos).
- If your search came up empty, try other keywords or search again in 3—5 days. It can take time for photos to be searchable.
I'd also recommend you look for your photos here, signing in with all your Google accounts if you have more than one:
- get.google.com/albumarchive
- drive.google.com (under Google Photos)
- other online photo or file storage services you use (e.g. Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud).
You may also contact the Google Drive support team as they can restore photos up to 21 days after deletion if the photos are available in the Google Drive. You can click the "Missing or deleted files" entry of the contact form and request a phone call or any other option that works for you.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Best,
Nadia
Answer:
Hi Nadia, Thanks for your extensive reply, unfortunately none of them resolved my issue. The photo's seem to have completely vanished form Google Photos. <panics>
I'll make use of the contact form, but since I uploaded all the files via the browser via Google Photos I doubt the people at Google Drive will be able to help.
I'll get back here, once I know more.
EDIT: Well for some reason all the files were in my Google Drive Trash. No clue why, but I got my photos back. :) My guess is with the last Google Photos iOS update the back-up and sync was suddenly turned on, by turning it off it somehow decided to move all the photos to my drive Trash.
So I guess thanks for pointing me towards Google Drive. :)

Hello, I recently reset my phone and noticed most of my photos that were backed up have disappeared! I've backed my photos on google photos quite a long time ago.
Answer:
Hi Jeanie,
I'm sorry for your lost photos. Prior to resetting the device did you ever visit the photos.google.com website to check whether all the photos were there?
I recommend that you look for your photos here, signing in with all your Google accounts if you have more than one:
- photos.google.com
- photos.google.com/archive
- photos.google.com/trash
- get.google.com/albumarchive
- drive.google.com
- the data backup of the phone on your computer
- other online photo or file storage services you use (e.g. Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud, Verizon, Amazon)

I accidentally deleted a video days ago on feb 22th can you recover it and add it to google photos please? its not in trash or archives. I recorded the video on my android. Saw the video appearing in google photos. I then thought I could simply delete the video from my phone and still keep it in google photos... but it then got removed too. Please recover it :(
Answer:
Good afternoon.
It sounds like you accidentally deleted your video file before it was actually backed up to Google Photos. If that's what happened, then unfortunately there is nothing that Google or any of the volunteers in this forum can do to help you get it back. Google can't help you to recover a video it never had in the first place.
Just because you can see a picture or video file inside the Photos app on your phone does not mean it has been backed up. You can always verify if a picture or video has been backed up by visiting the Google Photos website and looking for it there. If it's not visible on the website, then it hasn't been backed up yet.
You won't find that video in the Photos trash either. That's only for pictures or videos that are successfully backed up, then deleted later.
Also, if you had used the Google Photos app to delete the video, you would have been presented with a confirmation box popup alerting you in bold red letters that you are about to delete a file that has not yet been backed up. If you use your phone's stock gallery app to delete things, you won't see that kind of alert box.
Sorry the news isn't better. Let me know if you have more questions about this.

Question: I want to take an entire album with all the photos and create another album without having to move them one by one
Trying to create a new album using all the photos in an album that already exists without having to …
Just select all pictures in album A, click + and select New album (or some existing album).
There after you may delete album A (for whatever reason).
You can select up to 500 images in one go, so if album A contains more, you have to repeat several times.
No other options.
Good luck
Answer:
Thanks Rinus, since the large albums were introduced I tested and made a note that up to 1500 can be selected and added to an album. The date select for 'recently uploaded' still only selected 500 even if there were more than 500 on the same date.
Answer:
Maybe you have a better browser :-)
I have more experience with deleting the complete contents of an album and then I am still restricted to 500. But uploading via the button (not via dragging) seems unlimited.
So still a bit of luck.
Answer:
i NEED MORE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS..NOT A MILLENNIAL..i GO TO THE ALBUM AND I AM UNABLE TO SELECT ALL. EVEN IF i SAY EDIT AND SELECT ITS ONE BY ONE..AND CANNOT DRAG NO OPTION TO SELECT THE ENTIRE ALBUM...OR DRAG THE ENTIRE TO ANOTHER NEW ALBUM???????
SURE IT IS SOMETHING SIMPLE BUT NOT FOR ME
THANKS, THO'
Answer:
It's nothing to do with age Maddy, I bet you have skills we would be clueless with.
- Hover over the first photo until a circle appears, then click inside the circle
- Click on the End key a couple of times until you get to the bottom or if you don't have an End key on your keyboard scroll down to the last photo
- Press and hold the Shift key Then move the mouse until all the photos turn blue
- Still pressing and holding the Shift key Select the last photo and they should now all be selected
Good Luck,
Peter

I'm glad for the space I save using Google Photos. However, how can I get all of my Google Photos transferred to my Groovebook Photo printing app? It only costs a few dollars every month for the 100 photos I chose to have printed in a book and sent to me. Not to mention, Free shipping! But, ever since I got my beloved Samsung Galaxy 8 Note, the photos no longer automatically go to my Groovebook app, (I save a lot of Facebook photos from my large family, too), so I am trying to find out how to transfer them? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!!
Answer:
Hi Monica,
if Groovebook doesn't have a specific option for importing photos from Google Photos the latter doesn't unfortunately provide any direct support fro transferring media files to that app. If this is the case the only workaround is to download the photos from Google Photos to your device or computer and then uploading them to Groovebook.

Answer:
Thank you very much Paolo! This helps, although, my goal was to avoid saving or downloading photos onto my phone. If I save them to my Note, with a family my size, my phone will be full in no time. Thanks again!
Answer:
Thanks Arun. Yes. I'm sure it would work if I cleared all photos from my phone afterwards, but I was hoping to avoid downloading them to my phone to begin with.
Answer:
Issue is not only with grove book. Multiple apps can't access the photos not on the actual phone. Though yes greatful for the saved space, this is a small side effect I hope gets resolved some year.

Hi,

Answer:
Hello Michael,
I'm sorry, but yes it is a bug, and unfortunately Google have not advised if or when it can be fixed.
As a purely curious question, why do users need Photos stream as it doesn't appear to acheive anything? It is also no longer available for new iCloud accounts so it would appear it is being phased out, do you have any more info about this,
Thanks,
Peter
Answer:
Hi Peter,
I'm not sure why you think this? I do not have iCloud Photos enabled but I do have PhotoStream enabled on all my devices. And with the latest iOS it's still present in the settings. I take a picture with one phone and it shows up on my iPad, old phones, and Macbook. I import dSLR pics on my laptop and they show up on my iPhone and iPad. It's a lovely feature that I am very grateful for and use pretty much every day, it's incredibly convenient!

Question: How do I find video
Deleted photos or video
Hi Carrie,
if the deleted photos and videos are still in the Google Photos Trash you might be able to restore them as explained in these instructions https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6128867?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&oco=1
Otherwise it’s not possible to recover photos permanently deleted from the Trash. However, you may install to your Android device a deleted photo recovery app https://play.google.com/store/search?q=recover%20deleted%20photos&c=apps and run a scan for anything to recover.
I also recommend that you contact the Google Drive support team to see if any deleted files may be recovered. Just open the Google Drive https://support.google.com/drive/?hl=en&authuser=0#topic=14940&contact=1 contact form, click Missing or deleted files, select a contact option, and be sure to tell them you permanently deleted files in Google Drive.

Hi,
having an issue with sharing album with my boyfriend(blecic.ivan@gmail.com).
I have tried to share the album several times but he never gets the email notification and it can't be found in his shared album.
Tried to share via link but it show us "Error 404, That's a error. The requested URL was not found on this server. That's all we know" - it's the same computer we are working on.
When sharing it shows who the album is shared with, a thumbnail of the person is shown, it only says B (like Blečić) although it was added to my contacts (blecic.ivan@gmail.com). He does not seem to recognize him in my contacts, not me in his.
Please help me share that album.

I took three videos at an event last night. I did not have wifi. I needed more space on my phone to take another video, so I opened Google Photos, saw that the videos were listed there so I proceeded to delete the videos from my phone (not from Google Photos). I was a little nervous doing this so I tried to share the videos before deleting them from my device storage, but it couldn't share without wifi. Anyway, when I checked later that night, the videos that had previously shown up in Google Photos were no longer there. I've checked Google Photos trash and every file on my phone, no luck. I can only assume that they didn't actually back up to google photos even though i saw them there before i deleted them from my device storage.

Answer:
Sean,
Sorry to say, but there is nothing that Google or any of the volunteers in the forum can do to help you get those videos back.
Just because you can see a picture or video in the Google Photos app does not mean it has been backed up. By default, videos are only backed up when there is a strong enough WiFi connection. Since you did not have a WiFi signal, those video files were not backed up to your account. That is also the reason you were unable to share them -- because Google Photos can't share content that hasn't been uploaded yet.
So, you deleted video files that hadn't been uploaded to your account. You won't find those videos in the Google Photos trash. Only pictures & videos that have been uploaded and then later deleted will end up in the trash.
If you had used the Google Photos app to delete those videos, you would have been presented with a confirmation popup box with bold red letters alerting you that you're about to delete a file that hasn't been backed up to your account.
I wish there was better news, but unfortunately Google can't help you recover files it never had in the first place.

~ Greg
