Jump to Google Photos from Camera - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

As the title says is there a way to open google photos instead of the gallery when viewing the most recent picture from the camera app ?

On google photo go to setting and add shortcut to camera app

Does anybody know of a mod that uses the actual built in gallery button though? The overlay on the camera app doesn't work that great

Gallery - Photos options

Hello. Today when I wanted to open picture taken from camera I got pop up window asking me do I want to open that picture via Gallery or Photos (apps) when I've chosen Photos it asked me "Only this time" or "Always" I clicked Always. Now it's opening pictures from camera in Photos app. How to revert, to change to open it via Gallery? Because in Photos app the pictures aren't full screen and Hover option doesn't work in it.

[Q] viewing photo spheres

Hi
I downloaded the new google camera apk and proceeded to make some photo spheres.
After they finish processing I can view them in the camera mode or in the Google photos app
After I view them once and exit the app I enter the gallery again, the sphere icon is in the thumbnail but when I enter the sphere I can't see it in sphere mode anymore
Basically it seems like I can only view them once
Anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks

[FEATURE REQUEST] Change camera photo resolution and format

I find it ridiculous that such a feature does not exist on the default Camera App on OnPlus 6T. What bothers me the most is that there I can't change the format to 16:9 and the resolution to something that eats less MBs. Only have 4:3 and 18:9 available and there's no way to change the resolution either.
Any android phone maker out there let's you change the photo resolution and format. It kind of defeats the purpose of having and Android phone (which supposedly offers you greater flexibility than an Apple device).
Then there are tens of Android apps available that also allow you to do that. The only thing is that even if you set the 3rd party app to be your default Camera app it won't work fromt he Home Screen. By that I mean if I would be to double press the home button, I would like my 3rd party camera app to open and not the OnePlus camera app, which does not have the options that I want.

Ya that is pretty stupid. Lots of people are using gcam tho and I guess this is why
Resolution is the very first thing I change
Thanks for your post ... I actually grabbed the latest Google Camera apk and installed it as my default app.
I actually gave up on using the Google Camera App because it was crashing, freezing or not even taking the pictures most of the time.
I ended up using the regular OnePlus camera app, capturing photos in the wide 18x9 format and enhancing / croping them in Google Photos to 16x9.
When you said you were double tapping the home button to bring up the camera, did you mean the power button? You can choose the default camera to use for the system, and it'll use that camera app when you hit the power button twice.
Nope ... it will not bring the Default camera app when the screen lock is on, it will bring the OnePlus camera app.
Another known defect on all OnePlus devices.

Home screen wallpaper cropping

So, in the android nougat days of the v20, in the gallery app you could crop photos when you set them as your wallpaper AND be able to use entire photos, But after updating to oreo it only has the crop option from google photos app, Which cuts off a majority of the photos when you set as wallpaper, a photo i previously used on my homescreen now somehow doesn't fit? Is there any way to get back the crop feature in gallery instead of the stupid google photos app??
Thanks..
