1. I've transferred a bunch of my pictures over to my Pixel, but some of the photos seem to be completely out of order. Is there any way to fix this? I'm assuming it's something with the metadata, but I'm far from an expert there... it's claiming all the photos are from "today". This is only in a few of my folders, my Instagram photos for instance seem to be in the proper order while others are a complete clusterf*ck.
2. Is it possible to curate what's in the main photo stream? I'm used to the main gallery on my previous phones being from the camera with the ability to have other folders. I'd rather not have dirty pictures showing up in my main stream, but it'd be nice to not have to use a third party gallery app.
3. I don't see notification counters on my apps like I did on my S6 Edge. Is that just a Pixel Launcher thing? Can that be changed?
Thanks

Hey guys, I just recently got the Idol 5.5 and can not seem to figure out how to organize my photos into separate albums like I've been able to do on previous phones. Does anyone know how I can achieve this? Thanks in advance!
I haven't tried the gallery app, simply because I'm using "QuickPic" a universally recognised gallery application that lets you view and create albums and is greatly customisable! You might want to try that
I wish it was more compatible with Google Photo. Right now, it tells me to open Gallery to delete any photos
I own a Pixel 2 XL and I'm slightly confused by Google photos. When I'm in an area that I'm not connected to the internet, my pictures won't load. I can see like a low quality version of it, but the full resolution picture won't load unless I have an internet connection. Is there another gallery app I can download to view and edit my pictures in full resolution? I love everything about Google photos except for that one thing. Any tips are greatly appreciated, sorry for the noob question.
I'm fairly sure that's expected behavior. When your Photos are stored on the cloud only, you'll only see low-res versions that may be cached. Adding a gallery won't do much if the photos aren't stored locally.
If you really want a local gallery (I use one for local folders that never sync) I like QuickPic.
Are you using the "free up space" option? That deletes your photos from your phone; after that they can only be accessed via the internet. I don't use that feature (unless or until I'm desperate for more storage). To check, I just switched my Pixel 2 to airplane mode and was still able to access photos I've taken since I got this phone at full resolution.
I want to advice this 2 problem, with my mi note 10, already rised into this threads:

Google photo recognize as 0.7megapixel (960x480) photo taken with main camera, and it will backup photos with such this low resolution.
Amazon photos isn't simply able to complete a backup.
Really bad situation here....
I've already triggered mi support, what we can do?
No problem with Google Photos from my Note 10.
Smae identical problem about Google photo
No problem for me, Google Photos backup 27MP and 108MP photos without any issues

Yeah, no problem here either. All photos backed up in full size.
Some of my photos are backed up but others are flagged as 0.7 Mpixels. It's not related to our phone because I found the issue on Mi9T/9T Pro forums. It seems that moving the photos from one folder and back again to the original fixes the issue.
Same problem
Some photos back up fine, but some show erroneously as 0.7Mpix and don’t back up to Google photos. Those ones also erroneously show no GPS location.
Same problem. To correct it I have to clear all the data of Google Photos app and delete low res duplicates. It is really annoying
There is a workaround it (better than clearing the google photos)
the methods are:
1. Open the built-in Photo App. Create an album(ex. G-Backup Album) inside the built-in photo App. This will create a folder with the same name as the album.
2. Select all you photos and click "Add to" button below. Then select the "G-Backup Album" album and click on "Move" option. After this, all photos will be moved to "G-Backup Album" Album.
3. Open Google Photo App, add "G-Backup Album" folder to the list of backup folders in the Setting. Then you will see that all photos are being uploaded normally and the size are shown correctly.
Makesure u dont open the Google Photo apps.. before you do this methods
Hi Wing_Zero85 in my case something similar happens to my "mi note 10".
Neither the amazon photos app nor google photos automatically upload the photos to the cloud.
I have activated all the permissions, I have tried many things and nothing, they do not automatically upload photos to the cloud.
With google photos it doesn't bother me too much, but with amazon photos it does bother me.
For amazon photos to upload photos to the cloud, I have to manually open the app, because it doesn't automatically.
For the other apps, there are no problems, whatsapp, telegram ... they work well in the background, notifications arrive well .....
But what happens with the amazon photos app is very annoying and frustrating.
Edit: Solved. If anyone's in the same situation, what worked for me is searching for .thumbnail folders (make sure "show hidden files" or similar is enabled in your file browser), and deleting their content. Google photos will then recreate the thumbnails when you next open it.
Hello friends.
Ever since a few days, I've been having the strangest of problems with my pixel 4xl under android 10:
Basically, the thumbnails or previews of my pictures do not match the picture itself.
For example, if I want to send an image to a whatsapp contact, or attach one to an email I'm composing or whatever, the preview or thumbnail that I'm shown is that of a much older and long deleted image. Pressing the miniature instantly shows me the correct picture, but if I press the back button, I'm again presented with something that had nothing to do with that particular photo.
Hope this makes sense.
This happens both in the Google photos app and third party apps such as whatsapp.
The only step I can think of doing to correct it is deleting storage and cache of my Media Storage, but that didn't help.
Can anyone shed some light on the matter?
Best regards!
Hi, I am currently an Samsung User and I am using the feature Secure Folder.
I love this feature to hide foto's and apps from the children that somethimes use my phone without asking.
Does the Pixel has a comparable feature?
Hide your sensitive photos & videos - Google Photos Help
You can save sensitive photos and videos to a folder protected by your device screen lock in the Google Photos app. Items in Locked Folder won’t appear in the Photos grid, memories, search or albums

What about applications?
I use my phone also for work, So I use 2 whatsapp accounts, the work one is hidden.
Hmm, theres Profiles you can setup, that might work for your purpose, or not. There are 3rd party apps that can hide stuff like apps I believe. But other than the Profiles, not a built-in thing.
Ok, Clear. Thank you.
think I will stick with samsung. I find secret folder good implemented.
