Hi all. I recently got a Pixel 8, and it’s my first ever Android phone. I’m loving it so far and glad I switched over. One thing that’s honestly driving me crazy though is the photo picker. On iPhone it was easy to pick a photo directly within the Messages or any other app, either a recent one, a favorites one, or one from an album, with just a few taps. When I use the photo picker from within the Messages (or other app) on my Pixel, though, it feels incredibly convoluted. First it pulls up a grid of 5-ish recent pictures, followed by rows and rows of seemingly random pictures from the past 20 years. To get to my favorites, for instance, I have to tap on the folder icon, then tap the three dots, tap browse, tap Photos, tap Photos again, then tap favorites. Is this really how it’s supposed to work, or is there a setting I can change somewhere? I’ve double checked that Messages has permission to access all photos and videos. Thanks in advance for any help!
Get GrapheneOS! I would love to have a Pixel8 (I guess) but dont yet. GrapheneOS is the best and most secure Android there is.
Why is there so much unrelated astroturfing in this community?
