Google Photos Customer Insights

1. Storage is a great option, in fact, I found a number of photos I have been able to find, uploaded from a few phones back, awesome! However, ordering by date is less important to me, although it's good as a reminder of where I was or what I was doing.

2. Google Photos in conjunction with a plan like Google 1 for more cloud storage is a beautiful match and works seamlessly.This app is still really good, and I really like the editing features in it.

3. It's fine if some users like it - just give us the option to turn it off and go back to the previous memories experience.I've enjoyed Google photos for years but lately it's acting pretty strange.

4. Especially paying for storage, you'd think you could make that a feature...It's great and has some really good features, but it keeps deleting select photos from my files and won't show up in my trash.

5. For example the quality of my pictures and videos are affected once they are uploaded to Google photos.

6. But sometimes my pictures are saved (under the 'photos' tab on the app) but will appear under a different date than when I took the pic/screenshot.

7. I know others have this problem, and I need it fixed because I have really good photos I don't want deleted.

8. I have great camera quality and it just doesn't compare once they are on Google photos.

9. As a minimum, I would like to tag photos, or create categories where I can see an album of related image, as with Samsung Gallery, this is how I find what I like to revisit.

10. This problem is only happening under the 'photos' tab on the app, but it works fine under the other tabs.

11. It found a bunch of photos for me that looked like they needed rotation and offered to rotate them, on top of that I could select exactly how they should be rotated.
