Review Chapters 6-10
Google Photos Updates
9/15/18: You can now add up to 10,000 photos or videos to a private album.
- In a shared album, each person can add up to 10,000 photos or videos until the album reaches 20,000 total.
- In large albums, some features may not be available
- Mrs. Geek’s note: it’s still best to keep your albums under 500 photos. They get too confusing, unwieldy, and some features may not work in the bigger albums. The purpose of albums is to segment your photos/highlight your best. 10,000 photos is not a segment!
8/5/18: Problem with Snapseed not opening from iOS Google Photos menu. Reported in this thread.
