Google Photos Not Showing All Photos On Gallery Android | Samsung
If Google Photos is not showing all your photos on an Android device (like Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Realme, Vivo, or Tecno), here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
Check Backup Settings:
- Open Google Photos.
- Tap on your profile picture in the top right corner.
- Go to "Photos settings" > "Back up & sync".
- Ensure that "Back up & sync" is turned on.
Check Device Folders:
- In Google Photos, tap "Photos" at the bottom.
- Tap on "Library" > "Device folders" to see if the missing photos are in any of the folders listed.
Check Permissions:
- Go to your device's Settings > Apps > Google Photos > Permissions.
- Make sure it has permission to access your storage.
Clear Cache and Data:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Google Photos.
- Tap on "Storage" and then "Clear cache" and "Clear data" (this will not delete your photos but may require you to sign in again).
Ensure Device Storage is Not Full:
- If your device storage is full, new photos may not sync. Check your storage under Settings > Storage.
Update Google Photos:
- Ensure you have the latest version of Google Photos from the Google Play Store.
Reboot Your Device:
- Sometimes, a simple reboot can resolve syncing issues.
Check Internet Connection:
- Ensure you are connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data for syncing.
Check for Hidden Photos:
- In Google Photos, check if you’ve accidentally marked any photos as hidden or archived. Tap "Photos" > "Library" > "Archive".
Reinstall Google Photos:
- If the issue persists, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
If none of these steps work, consider checking the Google Photos Help Center for additional support.
