I recently changed phones and services, and, to make a long story short, the photos that were on my telephone were deleted before I had an opportunity to back them up on my computer or flash drive. However, they were supposed to be backed up on Google photos, but only a small number of them were. I was curious as to why all of them were not. I checked the trash, archive, checked to see if the back up was on, etc. but still can not find them. I was wondering if there was a problem on Google's end, say, for example, with a server?
Thanks

But that always has been the case with this setting - the only difference since July is a more correct behavior at deletions and edits: these are now restricted to PC and Drive because that is a syncing connection - the connection to Photos is a onetime upload to prevent disturbing shared albums etc.

Answer:
Hi Yoko,
Welcome to the Google Photos Help Forum.
I do understand the inconvenience you're facing for not being able to find your photos. Therefore, could you please confirm if you can find out the photos through the web version of Google Photos?
If not, I recommend checking the below options to find out the videos:
- Blogger
- YouTube
- Gmail
- Google+
If you don't find the photos, I recommend looking for the photos using the below links:
- drive.google.com (under Google Photos)
- get.google.com/albumarchive
- other online photo or file storage services you use (e.g. Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud).
For more information, please check the Help Center Article on finding missing photos & videos.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Emma

While i'm uploading new photos to the google drive, I just realized that a lot of photos are missing. For instance, I guess i have uploaded more than 2000+ photos during my trip to Vietnam, but I can only find less than 1000 photos.
I can definitely say that more than 70% of pics are missing in google photo now.
I have tried all the instructions mentioned in google photo :( Is there any other way to restore my photos?

Question: How do I send pictures from this phone to another phone
Hi, Pauline Boyer
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
If you have backed up everything on the first phone, you can download the content on the second phone.
Here are the details of alternatives available to do so.
Either, you can download photos one by one.
Regrettably, there is no option to do so on a batch of photos.
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 https://sites.google.com/site/picasaresources/google-photos-1/how-to-transfer-google-photos-back-to-your-camera

- what you're experiencing and what you'd like to happen?
- are you using photos.google.com on a desktop or laptop device?
- are you using the Google Photos App installed on an Android or an iOS mobile device?
- which country are you based in?

Question: Resently photo and video nl backup why?
Resently photo and video doesn't backup
Hi, Aman Kumar 3017
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
First, have you switched on backup & sync?
Even after doing so, there can be multiple reasons for the backup not to happen.
# The quantum of photos to be backed is high.
# WIFI connectivity is intermittent. Too many devices connected to the same router thus restricting the bandwidth.
# Download & upload speeds are too asymmetric.
# Google Photos app is not allowed to use
- Data in the background
- Mobile data
- Mobile data while roaming
# Activation of data saver through the settings.
# Putting a limit on the daily use of mobile data through the settings in the app.
# Putting a limit on the use of total data in a month through the settings in the phone.
# Activating battery saver or super saver mode.
Can you please go through these checks & confirm that these are addressed?

I just downloaded back up and sync and just finished uploading all of my photos and videos to Google Drive. When I looked at my Google Photos online which had been empty before, all the same photos that I had just synced to Google Drive were there too. I thought the syncing between drive and photos didn't happen any more.
Answer:
Hello, jwalt313
Yes, the syncing between drive and photos doesn't any more on the cloud base.
But if you have set the option "uploading to Google Photos" enable with Backup & Sync, your photos will be uploaded Individually to Google Photos in addition Google Drive.
Answer:
But that always has been the case with this setting - the only difference since July is a more correct behavior at deletions and edits: these are now restricted to PC and Drive because that is a syncing connection - the connection to Photos is a onetime upload to prevent disturbing shared albums etc.
So it is more correct to see Drive as your backup and Photos for having a comfortable port for viewing and sharing on different devices, also via Chromecast.
See this link
Answer:
Sorry, but that option is checked by default like shown in the screenshot from Boiling Coffee.
So now I am confused too.
But Google Photos is private and if you have used the High Quality option , no additional storage is taken in your account - so I would say: don't bother.

Sandie
Answer:
Liam,
Good afternoon. Like Sandie said, more information is necessary for anybody to help you with problems you're having.
That being said, from the little bit of info that you've provided, it sounds like you want Google to stop taking your private pictures and posting them online somewhere. Is that right? If that's the case, I'm pretty confident that there's been a mixup somewhere. Google does not snoop through the pictures in your library, nor would Google ever post any of your pictures without your express consent.
My suggestion is that you look back through your sharing settings to see who you've shared pictures with. If you're unable to determine who might be posting your pictures without permission, you should disable all sharing so that none of your pictures are accessible to anybody at all.
I hope this helps you figure it out.
Regards,
~ Greg

Hello Nitesh,
Welcome to the Google Photos Community.
Unfortunately we do not have access to the feature status of Google One subscribers, please contact the 24/7 Google One Support team @https://one.google.com/support - Click here
Regards,
Peter
Answer:
That's a shame, as a subscriber of Google One you are promised 24 hour support 365 days a year.
As volunteers there is nothing we can do for you except to recommend that you leave feedback in the Android app and include logs to alert the Google Photos team that there is a problem.
Answer:
Can't they ask the Google Photos team if an update has caused a problem. They work for the same company, we are volunteers with no direct access to the Google Photos team.
You are paying for a service, escalate and don't take no for an answer.

Question: How recent are "Recent highlights" in Google Photos?
Cannot find this information anywhere, is there anyone who knows it as a fact? Thanks
Hello Vincenzo,
Unfortunately Google do not share facts with us, but from observations Recent highlights shows photos dated in the last 2 or 3 weeks. Sorry there is no definitive answer available,
Regards,
Peter
Answer:
Thank you Peter,
I appreciate your reply.
I am using Chromecast on TV and showing only the "Recent Highlights" album. There are pics taken last August (11 months ago) so it's definitely more than few weeks :)
But the fact Google does not share exact information is enough for me, i thought it was just me not finding the right info, thank you.

Hi, Christine Curbelo
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.

Answer:
I Did clear cache and I also uninstalled several items on my tablet. That seemed to work. BUT I think I need a new tablet and it might have nothing to do with Gmail at all because my gmail works fine on my computer. Thank you all for your suggestions and help.
Answer:
@Christine
Also check one.google.com/storage - maybe you are around your 15 GB free storage limit at Google.
Years of gmail can take many GB's also.

Answer:
Hi Ebube,
I'm really sorry for the photos you lost.
The first thing I suggest is that you try to locate the stolen device with Android's Find My Device tool https://www.google.com/android/find It's also a good idea to report the theft to the law-enforcement authorities.
If the photos are not here https://photos.google.com (be sure to sign in with all your Google accounts if you have more than one) nothing can unfortunately be done. In this case even Google can do nothing because the photo data are not on their servers or anywhere they have access to.

Thank you for replying.
Okay, I really really need help with this issue. Due to the loss of my phone, all the files I've ever downloaded from Google were also lost too.
I want to re-download them.
Please is there a way I can get a list of everything I've ever downloaded since I started using this account so I can begin downloading them.
Fingers crossed

If the photos are not there, nothing can unfortunately be done to recover them.
As for the other data on the phone, assuming they were synchronized online before the device got stolen, you should be able to access the data by opening the corresponding Google app and signing in with the same Google account you had on the other phone.
For example, by opening the Gmail app with the appropriate account you should get your mails. But here we can't help you further with other Google products because we focus only on Google Photos.

Hi, Shonna Skeen
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.
Once done, please uninstall the Google Photos app (Or disable that).
Then, visit the link https://photos.google.com through any browser on your phone, log into your account & start deleting the pics one by one.

I chose other out if options because I'm just having like every one of those issues that are on the list to choose from .
But I have an image downloaded but I can't see the image .. but down below in the info for that file it states the date as today Saturday July 3rd 2021 but then its got the time stated as 10:10pm. But the time is currently only 6:23pm.
In that 10:10pm has yet to even actually happend yet.
Any reason anyone can think of why that is happening ..?!?!
Mind you I can't seem to get photos to attach to any emails. When I send the email they just hang out in the outboxed marked as Qued . And nothing ever happens at all ..only the Qued might change to loading but still nothing happens , email does not send , no error message tells me it couldn't download , nothing that looks like it's thinking or trying to do anything ..
I'm not majorly well versed in tech and such ( but not ignorant of it either). If you could keep that in mind if you should try and help explain in any way ...Thanx

Question: If i delete the photos on my phone to free up space are they safe
I want to delete photos from the phone to free up space
I highly recommend copying your photos/videos to one other location in addition to Google Photos before removing them from your phone. Then they will be safe.
For example, I have the OneDrive app on my phone and it is copying all my photos and videos to my Microsoft account. That is my secondary backup - Google Photos is my first. Once my photos are copied to both the Google cloud, and the Microsoft cloud - now I feel safe removing them from the phone.
Here's an article with a lot more detail: Google Photos is not a backup
Answer:

Answer:
In addition to Chris
Basically the free-up space option only deletes from phone what is safely stored at Google already.
But thereafter many people want back "everything" because they don't know how to work with the Google Photos app instead of their standard gallery and they also found it very uncomfortable to be dependant on wifi for comfortable viewing.
So after convincing yourself if everything is okay on photos.google.com you also can decide to delete the oldest month in your gallery every new month to keep enough space on phone.
And if you have a computer you also can connect your phone via its usb-cable and every month to update your import-action via the built-in Photos-app of Windows-10.
Then you don't need to use OneDrive if you don't have a Microsoft-365 subscription for having enough space in Microsoft cloud.

Question: How do I save the photo as my screensaver?
want to save photo as screen saver
Do you mean using a photo as a wallpaper?
If so, on the Android Google Photos app:
- Open the photo you want to use
- Swipe up to show menu of options
- Choose Use As
- Specify Lock Screen, Home Screen, or both
- Confirm by tapping "Set on Home screen"
If that's not what you meant, tell us more.

@Susan
If it always has worked before, you are out of free storage in your account: see one.google.com/storage
If most of the GB's are used by Photos, you need to apply the Recover storage button on photos.google.com/settings and then wait a day - then your mail will run in again.
Thereafter you need to change the backupsetting in the Photos-app to "storage saver quality" to prevent to run in the same problem soon again - but shooting 4K movies can't be done very long without starting to pay for more space at Google.
Good luck
