Hi, Rob Grosse
 
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
 
The Google Photos service is available to every Google account by default. You can't delink that from your Google account.
 
Further, it appears to me, the Google Photos app is installed on your phone already. If that's so, the app will access photos on your device as the app also acts as a portal viewer.
But, if you do not sign into your account through Google Photos, the app will only act as a viewer & no further actions will happen.


Answer:

#Rob,
 
With iPhones you can delete the Google Photos app by long pressing the icon until the option to delete shows,

Hi, Devi Sekar
 
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
 
It appears to me, the backup through your missing phone was imperfect.
 
The Google Photos app acts like a portal viewer & displays everything from our phone as well as the content on the cloud.
However, that creates a illusion everything is backed up.
However, unless we tap the profile icon and see the notification in the backup & sync menu, we should never assume everything is backed up.
 
In this way, if the pics are not backed up to cloud, then, regrettably, there is no way to get those back through Google Photos.

Question: I need toStop sharing google photos to contacts ASAP

I tried to remove contracts out of google photos and I failed..I don't want to share Google photos!

@Ann
You can't remove these contacts, but that does not mean that anything is shared with them. 
That's your own choice: select some pictures, hit the Share-icon and select a person. 
If not done that and never will do that, Google Photos is fully private - but your phone should be fully private also - so pincoded. 
 
PS: be aware that the app is a gallery which shows the pictures on your phone and not the pictures in cloud. So deleting there, deletes your local pictures primarily.

Hi, Stephanie Jarvis
 
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
 
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, the local folder structure can not be restored.
To do so, there is no requirement to join Google One, the option is available to everyone.
However, the method may not be effective 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.

Answer:

Hi Chad,

Welcome to the Google Photos Help Forum.

Could you please try uninstalling and reinstalling the Google Photos app to see if it helps? Also, make sure it is currently up to date.

If that doesn't help, I recommend trying these troubleshooting steps in a sequence and see if any help:
  • Do a force restart by holding the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logoappears.
  • If the application freezes or is not responding, you can force the app to close by holding the power button until the red slider Slide to Power Off appears. Do not slide the slider. Instead, hold the home button for 5 or 6 seconds, and you should be returned to the home screen.
Lastly, you can try the below mentioned steps if all else fails:
  • Go to Settings.
  • Turn on Airplane Mode.
  • Wait a few seconds, and turn it back off.
  • Tap on the Settings icon.
  • Select the General menu. 
  • Scroll to the bottom and tap on Reset.
  • Select Reset Network Settings.
  • The device will take a minute or so to reboot.
Let me know if this helps.

Best,
Emma

I did not delete or archive the album "Childhood..:(" yet I don't know where it went?
I noticed that the album "France" got duplicated with 3 extra images (I can't tell which of them are the extra ones) but still, most importantly is my childhood images, these are the most important, how can I rely on google photos when my old photos just  disappeared like that.

Note: I accessed this album not long ago, maybe a few weeks ago.

Please assist.

Answer:

@Ali
Albums may disappear when you have been removing pics from your mainstream because of making more space at Google because you got in panic about the storage costs. 
Because albums don't contain copies, but just links to the mainstream. 
Can't explain why you got a duplicate France-album. 
What about the space in your account - see one.google.com/storage ???

Question: Cancel Google Photo Account

Cancel Google Photo Account

Hi Lynne,
 
>>>  Cancel Google Photo Account
 
There really is no such thing as a "Google Photo Account", Google Photos is just another service within a Google (typically Gmail) account.  
 
You can just stop using Google Photos. Turn off the ~Synchronization~ settings on any devices.
 
If you wish you can delete all of the images at: https://photos.google.com/u/0/
Be VERY VERY careful if you do this that you are POSITIVE that your images are safely stored someplace else not linked to Google Photos.
 
It is always a good idea to have your important photos stored in multiple locations / tools.  Mine are stored in at least 4 places, one place is completely disconnected from the internet and 50 miles away.
 
It is possible to delete your Google account, but this is almost always too extreme a measure which will cause much pain (with Android and Chromebook logins, contacts, Gmail address and history).. I am not including a link here because it is too dangerous.

Hi, I just got a new phone. On my old phone, WhatsApp photos are backed up on drive in a "WhatsApp images" folder on device, which is synced and backed up on Google photos. But on the new phone all the images are mixed up with my camera photos in Google photos, not in its own folder as before. Is there a way to keep the WhatsApp photos in a separate folder on my new phone please? Thanks!

Answer:

@Basel
No, because you should have known that by checking your real cloud at photos.google.com now and then. 
If your old phone still is running and not cleaned, you simply can create a WA-album (that's not a folder) by opening the WA-folder under Pictures on device on the Library-page and then select all dates and then hit the + and choose Album and give that album the name "Whatsapp in cloud". 
Such albums don't take storage on your new phone nor at Google and they are not lost when changing to the next phone. And new WA-pictures easily can be added to that album. 
Good luck

My photos aren't printed after ordering from 2 different stores. Now I'm thinking it's an issue with Google sending the order, and not with CVS or Walmart like I originally thought.

Question: My library is missing lots of photos.



I'm trying to browse through my photo library, but Photos is missing lots of photos. It shows a black placeholder for the photo, but when I try to open the photo it does not load & returns a black screen.
"On this day 2 years ago" reminders frequently return a set of missing photos.

Answer:

@Mike
What do you see if you view these pictures in a normal galery or in Google Gallery Go or in Google Files. 
Or are they at Google only? 
Did you check how they look on photos.google.com then. 
Have it been normal camera-pictures or files downloaded from obscure sites? 

PS: if your phone has low space, the app can't function very well - so you may need to remove a few large videos via the Google Files app.


Answer:

The photos appear fine if I browse to photos.google.com - it's just the android app that isn't displaying them properly.

What I see in app is lots of black placeholders - as if they're pending download to my phone. (I have gigabit broadband, so it's not a slow network.)


Answer:

Okay Mike, but you did not tell that in advance. 
Best to reset the app then and that is simple: 
  1. Select Use without account under your profile circle. 
  2. Close all apps and restart your phone. 
  3. Start the app if you have good wifi for at least an hour. 
  4. Log-in to the app, but don't start backupping. 
  5. Give the app the time to rebuild its database. 
  6. When ready also switch-on backupping to the correct account and with the correct quality.
  7. Good luck
 


Answer:

I've already tried reinstalling the app - the database rebuild starts but seems to pause & never restart.

Thanks for taking the time to try & help.

Question: Received this link but not sure if its a virus https://photos.app.goo.gl/62zgtPDdwtymVz18A

My husband lost his phone so I'm not sure who sending the link it says my husband's name

Hi Margolaine,

It's not a virus. 

You probably want to look at the photo and see if you recognize it as somebody who you know's kitchen (it might be an old photo).  

You could, if desired, join the album and try sending a message to the owner.  However,  I am surprised that you have not already at least locked (if not erased) the phone via https://www.google.com/android/find  
If comments are disabled on the album you could probably post a photo of a note (like, ~ Please turn the phone into the Lost and Found desk at XXXXXX ~).

Note:  If you lock or erase the phone, the finder won't see the message.  But if you don't lock it, who knows what else they have access to (email, contacts, etc).

Good luck!  Dougsap (volunteer Google Photos user)


Answer:

Hi Margolaine,

Maybe T-Mobile shutdown their cellular service, but if they did not lock and erase the phone what you are seeing makes perfect sense.

Do check the status of the phone yourself (and probably Erase it) at:

Typically that should be done immediately if a phone is lost or stolen.

It would not be a bad idea to change your husband's Google (probably Gmail) password.  Also, thing about any other information (or access via Apps) the person with the phone might have and change those passwords, too.

Good luck,  Dougsap (volunteer Google Photos user)

Hello Dilip Kumar 3118!
Welcome to the Google Photos forum!
Why might you have photos of other people?  
⚫ You have a "share with a partner" setting, and you can check in your Google Photos settings, or this person's settings

⚫ You are a member of the Google Family group, and you can check it between family members


⚫ You have an album shared by your family, where photos from you and other family members get


⚫ You or family members have entered the same account on the device, check Settings → Accounts → Google / Other accounts, and if there is such an account, then select Delete (→ deleting will not hurt, you just remove it from your device  , or your account from another device, the account itself will not be deleted)


⚫ Photos are sent to some application that is associated with Google Photos, and from there they are backed up to your Photos

Question: How do I add my profile in people I clicked remove results



Hi, Dhruv Krishnan M
 
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
 
The creation of a new profile may not happen instantaneously. 
Either you can wait for the app to process the new addition, or you can create a new profile yourself.


Answer:

Hi,  Dhruv Krishnan M
 
Thanks for your reply
 
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.

Question: How to delete duplicate photos

Trying to delete duplicate photos on android phone

Hi, Jeanette Eakes
 
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
 
Google Photos never uploads the same picture multiple times.
What we see as duplicates have some difference in file format or metadata.
 
Regrettably, Google Photos doesn't provide any means to remove the apparent duplicates. You have to search those manually.
 
However, you will find some tips in this article on how to avoid duplicates in the first place & how to remove the ones which are already there.
 


Answer:

Addition
If these duplicates are caused by you by pressing on the shutter too long, you should change your camera-shot to prevent this. And you can open such burst-shots in the Photos and then select the best one to keep. 
Or you have the habit to make too much shots of the same scene and then you need to keep the best ones only. 

PS: if you delete pictures in the Photos-app, they are deleted from phone as well as from cloud if backup is on.

Google photos is taking backup to all items of DCIM by default.
Please provide us flexibility to choose backup folder even for by default, so that we can manage our limited space in better way.

Answer:

Hi, Shailesh Jaiswal
 
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
 
However, regrettably, Google Photos app doesn't provide any utility to change the default folders of other apps.
 
You will have to look into the help pages of each app & then find out the right way to do so.


Answer:

Addition;
On my Samsung the DCIM-folder has 6 subfolders: Camera, Google Photos (for collages etc.), Photoscan, Photoseditor (offline copies), Restored (downloads) and Screenshots. 
And apart from the Camera-folder, most folders are empty or are filled with a few temporarily. 
So only in case you are shooting a large amounts of screenshots, you will use additional storage-space on your phone as well as in cloud and that can be a drawback. 
All other folders outside DCIM are caused by installed applications like Whatsapp and it is your own choice if you want to include them in backupping. 
So you should use the feedback option in the app under your profile to ask Google to show the screenshots folder as a separate folder and to rename Camera into DCIM.

Or what did you change on phone or computer?

I echo your sentiments, but iOS has it's own protection in the Apple Photos app. There is a Recently deleted album which stores the deleted photos for 30 days.
 
Good Luck,
 
Peter

Majority of iPhone photos are uploading at 0.5mp to a shared album. Only a few get uploaded as correct 12mp size. Settings are set at Original Quality.

Answer:

@Shane
Original quality or high quality (now called "storage-saver") make no difference because the resolution of your camera is lower then 16 MP. 
So I must assume that these 0.5 MP pictures originate from low quality social media and then they also will have wrong dates. Else I don't understand how you did manage that ugly low resolution. 
Sorry, we can't look over your shoulder. 
 
PS: facepictures can be heavenly cropped and should be avoided. 


Answer:

Additional
For a test I shared one 16 MP picture to the iPad of my wife and when saved that image in her library and did view the technical data, she also saw a value like 0,5 MP initially, but after a while this indication was updated to 16 MP.
Probably that corresponds to your impression, but when you look now, they all will be 12 MP again.
If that is my guess that it were iPhone-pictures shared via social media was wrong: sorry. 


Answer:

@Rinus,

I am wondering if this is a result of using optimised iCloud storage and Google uploads the optimised copy before pulling in the original size from iCloud. There were a few of these some weeks ago where if the user re-uploaded then the original appeared.

Does your wife have Optimised turned on Apple settings; Photos - one of the options.


Answer:

To me It just seems a short-term mis-interpretation corrected within an hour because the size in MB's was shown correctly. 


Answer:

Yeah, all photos attempting to be uploaded are of original resolution. I was wondering about a delayed upload, as I have seen a few finally go full-res, but there is no logical pattern to how it happens. Same album, another friend has a Pixel 4 and they are uploading full-res immediately, so def an Apple issue. 🤦🏼

Answer:

@Shane
They are uploading in original quality, but just the numbers are shown wrong for a while. 
For Apple-devices the Google Photos app is a third party app and thereby not as well integrated as within Android. So no serious problem, just a bit confusing. 
Goodnight from here.

Hi, Carolyn 6979
 
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
 
The Google Photos service is available to every Google Account & that can't be disabled.
 
Has the phone manufacturer given you that as a default app? Or, did you download that through the Play store?
Nevertheless, once installed, the app acts as a portal viewer & shows all the pics on the device.
However, nothing gets uploaded to the cloud unless you activate backup & sync.
 
Still, if you do not want to use the app, please take the following steps.
  • Uninstall or disable the app through the settings on your phone.
  • Once done, visit the link https://photos.google.com and check whether any content is uploaded there inadvertently. If so, please delete everything & empty the recycle bin.
