Anyone else having issues deleting photos from the camera app? You used to be able to just swipe them upward to get rid of them, but that no longer works. There is a trash can button, but when you click that, it brings up a pop up that says:
"Remove from Google account and synced devices?"
This happens with all photos, even ones that are already synced. This is neither what I want it to do. I want to simply delete the photos from my device, whether they are synced yet or not. I don't want to do anything to the synced photos. This is how my Pixel used to work.
I'd also like the swipe to delete to come back.
Any ideas?

Try to remove your account and add it up again... could be some sort of a bug...
Doing some research, it seems that the little photo preview thing is now no longer just a link to a basic Gallery app, but rather it's now directly integrated with Photos, which might be the issue...
Not sure how I feel about this...
1. Even if this is the new standard, it's tedious! You have to press the trash can and then confirm deletion again. This is really slow.
2. Swiping to delete is so much quicker than tapping an icon.

hey has anyone have issue with bringing in pictures into the contacts. it shows that i am connected but i cant see any of the picture in my contacts. i also can see any updates. any ideas?
I tried this today on a VZ version.
Same problem as you, first page of my FB contacts will load the pics, but nothing under that (page where you associate them).
Also, if you remove their FB link here, I think it removes them as a friend.
It was hit or miss for me on the Sprint version. Probably 75% of my fb contacts imported pictures while the rest whom I know have pictures, failed to load and save.
Also, I did remove a couple associations and it didn't removed them as a friend on fb.
If anyone knows why, let us know!
it doesn't remove them as a friend, it just doesn't let you associate the same person the next time you try. It may even be that you just have to back out of the edit contacts and then return to editing the contact again. I don't remember how picky it was. baffled me at first too.

Just noticed a bit ago, logged in on the pc, and that contact is still a friend. I'll have to check to see if I can try to associate later.
Linking a profile will temporarily remove the person from your list of available friends to link with. If you wait a minute or two after removing their link, they will reappear in the list.
I also have had issues with some friends' photos not importing. My only theory was that I was linking the friend too quickly .. if I waited for the small thumbnail image to load next to their name before linking, it seemed to work every time. I didn't test this extensively, though.
Also, some for some friends I was able to get a photo to load by using the "Update Photo" button. Oddly, for a couple of contacts that still didn't work.
There are definietly a few bugs in this functionality.
When I had major problems with my facebook manila, I broke my activesync partnership (thus deleting all my contacts) recreated and relinked my facebook friends. Everything good after that. Backup your PIM if you're not on Exchange.
I had problems with Facebook to in the beginning. Conatcts pictures wouldn't show up. I found with a few people there pictrue showed up next time they logged on. A few didn't show up though but as soon as I went to edit and add photo and birthday I saw there pic and they were added. I see there status now in my contacts list or I can go to updates and events and click on there name to go to there profile to read there full status. I like it and have the Sprint version. My 1st smartphone/windows mobile phone and I really like it.

you must soft reset your phone "power button at the top" you know power it off then back on , but any way this will add the pic to the contacts

This is not true.....I have never had to do this mine sync with FB in about a minute or two....
I have searched around and found nothing on XDA or anywhere else about this. With that being said, I understand the existence of Gallery and Photos. Not complaining about that.
Is there any way to keep Hangout MMS pictures from populating their own albums in the Gallery app? Here's the issue, every picture I send, creates an album with prefix Hangouts then the name of the contact. Deleting the pictures from the Gallery app deletes it from my conversation in Hangouts too leaving a white picture and the three dots at the bottom which means that the pictures can't be found. This is not only for chats, but MMS as well. Yes I could go get another Gallery App etc... But wanted to try and see if anyone has it figured out first before going down that route.
There is no option to only view albums on the device itself. Disabling the sync, disables auto-backup.
Thoughts or solutions anyone?
+1 on this, I was randomly searching around google support for this the other day but never hit paydirt. Its annoying as hell.
Edit. You inspired me to go look again. Go into the gallery app select settings and turn off sync with google account. Go into main settings/apps/gallery and delete data and cache. Reboot. Worked for me.

Thank you! While you solution does work and I have tried it, it isn't quite exactly what I am looking for. Reason being because I do sync my pictures to my google account considering I just blew through over 70GB in DropBox storage and can no longer automatically upload pictures I take. Basically, I am looking for a way to selectively pick what to display in my Gallery app(I don't want anything Picasa/Google+/Hangouts/Photos in there). Since the intro of the Photos app which is mostly tied in with G+, it shows everything online, and if they are going to keep the gallery app, then they should at least allow it to be used for offline images available on the device(Just like Play Music has, where it gives you the option to to use music on your online account or what you have on your device).
Unfortunately, the dependency of the camera app on the gallery app, makes it impossible to revert back to a previous version of the gallery.
Ah, sorry about that. Not sure how you can pull that one off, I sure didn't see mention of such when I was searching.
Try making a .nomedia file in the picassa folder where it downloads the pics. And same to every other folder you don't wanna see in your gallery. This will help you select what displays along with auto sync enabled.

It creates one for every contact I send a picture to in Hangouts.
That's going to be a lot of files to be created. I guess there is no other way. Unless I just install another gallery.

I've been using Quickpic for years, and it's very stable and easy to use.

No it's not like that. You would have to copy paste only one .nomedia in the main folder of the data file of hangouts and one in picassa.
Whenever I open up my gallery I have these few folders showing that I cannot delete. I made sure that the google + sync and everything is disabled as well. I tried to find these images on my phone and can't seem to find them either.
In the attached screen shot, the folders with the picasa (Im guessing that's picasa) logos are the ones giving me this issue. It seems it is logging every picture I have taken in hangouts and putting it in the gallery.
Anyone have any idea how to get rid of these? I was going to do the .nomedia fix, but hell if I could find the folders containing these images.

those images arent on your phone, they are in the cloud. and you cant delete those folders, they arent actually there. you can stop piucasa from syncing though. in the sync settings, disable google photo upload.
A few times a week, my phone will cache the Facebook Messenger photos, and whenever it does they appear in my photo storage apps. I seem to be the only one having this problem as I can't find a permanent fix. Here is what I have attempted so far:
1) Manually deleted all folders containing an image of a Facebook Messenger sticker.
2) Uninstalled all Facebook Messenger stickers. It lets me uninstall all stickers except for the "Pusheen" and "Meep" stickers.
3) Added ".nomedia" folders to the "storage\android\data\com.facebook.orca\files\stickers" and "storage\android\data\com.facebook.pages.app\files\stickers" file locations.
4) Cleared my Facebook Messenger cache and data.
Adding the ".nomedia" folders seems to temporarily work, but somehow they always end up being deleted and the images will make another appearance in my photo storage apps. It seems to happen randomly, as well, as sometimes the "Pusheen" and "Meep" stickers from the Messenger app will appear and other times a bunch of random stickers from the Pages app will appear. The annoyance is compounded by the fact that each sticker is stored in its own individual folder, so when they do reappear there is always at least 30+ new device folders in my photo storage app. So, is there any way to just completely stop the Facebook Messenger and Pages apps from caching these stickers I've literally never used?! Do I have to uninstall the stickers in my Facebook settings somewhere? I don't care what it is, I just want a solution. I have never had this problem until I purchased the OnePlus 6 almost 2 months ago..
Did you switch from iOS?
I get that too, but in the regular gallery app as well. Any cached images from any app shows up, included cached ad videos.

Well, if you run knockoff apps like that, you deserve whatever you get. Plus maybe you should get some help. I'm suspicious that you're tweaked out of your mind right now.
Still Happening
I forgot about this thread because it hadn't happened for a while, but today when I went into my Gallery app after taking a photo I noticed it happened again.
I have posted photos of what it looks like, and as you can see it is very annoying. The ".nomedia" folder trick didn't work this time, either. I understand Facebook sucks, but I have been using Android phones since the Note 3 and I've never had this problem before. So, it has to be something with OnePlus's settings... There really should be a way to turn this off. One thing I've noticed this time is that the date in the albums is much earlier than when the pictures actually appear in my Gallery app. I have no idea why that would be the case.
If no one can provide me an answer here, then maybe I'll take it to OnePlus's customer service and they can give me an answer that I can forward to everyone... I doubt it, though, as their customer service is usually pretty awful and I seem to know more about their phones than they do.
You're supposed to create a .nomedia file, not folder.
Ah hah!

Ahh, that makes sense. That's what I did this time, hopefully it'll be a permanent fix.
Maybe this has been covered before. Google Photos automatically uploads my photos to the cloud after a certain period of time. That's fine. However what is not fine is that it keeps deleting photos from my phone at some point after they have been uploaded. I continually have to open Photos and download (1 at a time) photos that I want to stay on my phone. How can i stop this? All I see is an option to sync and/or upload them. I want the uploads to take place, I just don't want them automatically deleted from my phone. Never had this issue with any phone before including the Nexus 5.
Note, I have disabled Smart Storage.
Apparently, I am not the only one to notice this. For whatever reason, Google Support closed this thread with no solution.

Thanks
Anyone?
No one can tell you of an option that does not exist. You sync them they will get uploaded and off your phone. For me this is why I turned sync off, google is not readily available where I am. You could chose a time that is convenient and sync all then re-download. Maybe a weekly or monthly thing, I think tasker or automate could do that.
I disagree. I think this is a bug. I have turned Smart Storage off so photos should not be getting removed from my phone. Did you look at that Google Support link I posted?
Update: This may only be happening to downloaded photos and not those taken with the phone camera. I am not sure if this is intentional or a bug. If they are still being uploaded to the Google servers and taking up space there, I don't see why Google would care what remains on my phone.
Uncheck this option from the storage settings and your problem is solved.
Okay sorry misread that you already done rhis
