Google reportedly fixes Android Photos image-picker bug
Images edited in Google Photos could disappear from other apps’ pickers when the edit replaced the original. Engadget reports the issue is resolved.
Google has reportedly fixed an Android bug that stopped some images edited in Google Photos from appearing in other apps’ image pickers, according to Engadget.
The issue affected edits that overwrote the original photo. The edited image could then be missing when users tried to select it in messaging or social media apps.
Saving an edit as a copy, rather than replacing the original, had worked around the problem. That option was less useful for users who wanted to keep only the edited version.
Engadget says the fix was reported by 9to5Google and APK Mirror founder Artem Russakovskii. The supplied report includes no direct confirmation from Google and does not specify the fix’s release date, app version or availability.
Google Photos had a separate editing issue last month, when some controls became unresponsive on certain devices after a user made an edit. That issue was resolved within about a day, Engadget reported.
