Troubleshoot
If your partner can't see shared photos in Google Photos, it can be frustrating. Ensure that the partner sharing invitation is accepted, and have your partner check their Google Photos app under Sharing.
Verify that the photos are uploaded, as Google Photos may sometimes take a while to sync newly added images. Check if filters are enabled, as this might restrict what your partner can see, and go back to Settings > Partner Sharing to ensure the sharing preferences are set correctly.
Restarting the Google Photos app can solve minor glitches. Close and reopen the app on both your and your partner's device.
If the issue persists, update the app to the latest version. Make sure both you and your partner have the latest version of Google Photos, as updates can resolve compatibility issues.
If you're having trouble sending the partner sharing invitation, check your internet connection and verify the Google account email address. Double-check for any typos and try clearing the app cache if you're using the app.

You Asked, Listened: Revert Unpopular Changes
Google has finally listened to user feedback and brought back a much-needed feature to Partner Sharing.
The feature in question is the ability to automatically share photos from third-party apps, which was quietly removed in November last year. This change was not well received by users, and it seems Google has taken notice.
According to the company, the decision to bring back this functionality was based on user feedback, which is great to see. It's always good to know that our voices are being heard.
If you're interested in enabling this feature, all you have to do is go into Google Photos' settings, navigate to Sharing, and find the toggle that says "Include content from other Android apps." It's off by default, so you'll need to actively choose to enable it.
Here's a quick rundown of the steps to follow:
- Go into Google Photos' settings.
- Navigate to Sharing.
- Find the toggle that says "Include content from other Android apps."
- Enable the toggle.
By enabling this feature, you'll be able to automatically share photos from third-party apps with your partner, just like before.
Sharing Options
You can share your photos with a partner in just a few steps. To start, open the Google Photos app on your Android device and tap your account Profile picture or Initial Photos settings.
You can choose to share photos with your partner from a specific date onwards. This means you can share photos from a particular event or vacation. To do this, select a starting date and choose photos to share.
Photos that were edited on your device are shared with your partner's account. This is a convenient feature, especially if you like to edit your photos before sharing them. However, it's worth noting that any edits you make to your version of a shared photo won't apply to any copies already saved by your partner.
You can use partner sharing with one person at a time. To partner share with someone else, or receive an invitation from a different person, stop sharing with your current partner.
