Google Photos Reintroduces Flexibility in Partner Sharing with New Toggle
Summary
Google Photos has introduced a new setting that allows users more control over what is shared via Partner Sharing, especially content from other apps such as screenshots and images downloaded from social media. This change comes after user feedback on a previous update in November 2024, where Google quietly altered the feature to exclude such content by default. The new toggle, available on Android, lets users decide whether to include these types of images in their shared library. The setting is off by default to ensure privacy but can be enabled or disabled at any time. Adjustments to this setting are retroactive, meaning previously backed-up content will be shared or unshared accordingly. Google initially made the change to reduce clutter and keep the partner's feed focused, but user feedback prompted this more flexible solution.
