Hi All,
I'm a newbie but a long-time follower of this site, so please excuse me of any ignorance. I tried searching for my issue but didn't find anything relevant, hence posting here.
I have ATT Stock Samsung Galaxy S4. I have one primary google account(A) which takes care of apps downloading, gmail etc. I also added another google account(B) mainly to manage my Photos. So, whenever I take new photos, I have instant upload/auto-backup for this account B. My sd card just crashed couple of days and I have formatted it and it's all good to go now.
Now, I am looking for ways to see all my google+ photos of Account B in my Gallery app since auto-sync is turned on. While it shows up everything in Google+ photos app, I would prefer to see everything in Gallery app. I tried changing "Content to Display" in Gallery settings to show Picasa as well Device photos, but it keeps showing account A's picasa web albums and not account B.
I am really tired of looking everywhere, so I'm hoping one of you could patiently help me.
Thanks!

I have a ton of pictures that i've taken over the years. They are all accessible through google photos. When I take new photos they are automatically backed up to google photos. So, all is well there...
My problem is this. When I want to upload a photo to facebook, set a contact photo, or pretty much access a photo or video through any application it automatically opens "Gallery". Is there ANY way to change the default app to "Google Photos" or at least show the Google Photos in "Gallery"? It's driving me crazy!
Other than that, I'm loving my S6 Edge+!!
You can go into Settings > Applications and then Default Applications and clear Google Photos from Default. I hope this helps.
Hey guys,
So I've been using my Nexus 6P for about a week now and I had to do a reset because I was having some issues with mms and for some reason my new apn wouldn't take no matter what I did. So after that reset, my mms works fine but now I have another issue I just can't figure out. So here it is...
When I go to messenger to send a mms, like a photo lets say. I attempt to attached a photo from my media (Google Photos) but it doesn't see any of the photos I have in google photos, it only shows me a photo I took about 5 minutes ago when I was doing a test. I'm sure that before this reset I was able to attach any photo I had in Google Photos to a message in messenger, not I can't. What's going on? Ive checked permissions and all is good, all approved. Kinda silly that I can't go to messenger, check the box next to photos within the app, choose photos , and not see anything .
When I go to Google Photos they are all there, but when I check it through messenger, nada... Please help.

If I had to guess... Before you reset, all of the pictures in Google Photos were still on your device. Now that you have reset, you're only seeing pictures that are on your device when you try to send an mms, but you see the old pictures that were backed up before you reset when you go to the Photos app. Does that make sense?

Thats the thing. I'm not seeing any old photos that have been in Google Photos for months, I'm only seeing new photos that Ive taken after the reset
Yea it makes sense, but I had access to all the photos in Google Photos before, now I only have access to photos that you would say are in my camera roll (iPhone term, photos taken with this device). Once again this is only for attachment. If I go to Google Photos , I see everything. Just not from messenger.
If I start in Google Photos , I can send a photo via Messenger. But If I start in messenger, then go to attach a photo, it only shows photos that I've taken with the Nexus (Post Reset), no option to see all my photos from Google Photos.
Try resetting the data in messenger just back up your texts before you do

Make sure you are actually going to google photos. When you click the paperclip in messenger to add, you are in the 'recents' area.
You'll need to click the pic icon panel (should be first one listed), that will take you to the 'recents' picture picker. On that screen click the hamburger menu in the top left, then in the pane that appears, select google photos.
If the above doesnt work, open settings > apps > messenger > permissions and be sure it has access to the appropriate areas.
Yup, I'm clicking photos. And I've checked my permissions
Can someone give me the download link to download xposed installer for lollipop
I'm tapping photos in the menu too... But photos are only showing recents not all photos
Tried clearing app data too , reset permissions. Still no go
Even uninstalled photos and reinstalled
Same issue

I'm having the same issue as well. Did you ever get it solved? If so, how? Thanks .
When in either of the apps and I attempt to send a message, I'm only able to select from local storage and not my Google Photos or my Google Drive for that matter. However, when I go into the Photos app and select a picture that's stored in the cloud, I'm able to send it.
I think it varies by app. If I am using Fenix (Twitter app) I can select "Photos" which has all my cloud photos (6000+), but when using Messenger (stock SMS) I can only pick from the several hundred saved on my device. I usually go to the photos app first and click Share from there, which is actually much better for searching. When using Fenix and selecting my cloud storage, it just shows me a long list, and I can't use any of the search functions. I can scroll through the list, but it's just a super long list ordered by date.

Could be. I know when running CM 13 and using their stock messenger app I have no issues selecting from my cloud photos. Maybe I'll see if someone has the CM 13 messenger APK or zip.
Actually this is a bug in Hangouts and has been reported and confirmed.
This morning I take a zillion photos and they upload to Google photos automatically. I go to my Mac, download the photos from Google photos and all so far is well. I go to Gmail to send the photos to family and things go sideways (literally). Once I attach the photos to my email they attach sideways. I tried the same thing by attaching the photos from the phone gallery in the email app on the phone and same issue.
If I do the same with my iPhone no issue.
Any resolution for this?
It's the portrait pictures that do not have the correct orientation once you attach to Gmail for example.
