Google apps misbehaving

[Android Central Question]

The struggle is real peepz!
Google is becoming so disappointing day by day! Firstly, that lovely Google assistant lady who did all my work on phone, doesn't reply on my new phone anymore. (Probably they killed her ) The option to retrain voice model is greyed out saying option not available for the chosen language. I chose all possible languages in the list one by one. Total waste of time
Next, all my sorted photos of past six years or so were dumped under a single tab called Photos in photos.google.com when I chose to back-up and free up space on my device (which wasn't even needed *) And now just to find a single picture I have to scroll through thousands or probably lakhs of pictures and look at people I don't even want to have a glimpse of . Mi cloud is wayyy better than this . It keeps all the folders and compressed previews on the device and whenever I wish I can tap and download the required image. Is it so difficult for Google to give this option? At least upload everything as folders before wiping out from the device. Take my Drive space if you want, but my yearsss of sorted folders???
And now that I want to play some songs to get rid of my frustration, YouTube says you're offline! It detects neither my phone's internet connection nor the Wi-Fi. Tried force stop too. Can't uninstall and reinstall lol.
*Plays sad songs on Wynk because don't want to go to Google Play Music* (hoping that the sad story ends here)
Such misery!
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Google apps on my Android devices are okay so far as I know. What phone are you using?

Did you use Smart Switch?
Did you go through setting up GA from the beginning?

Welcome to Android Central! First, Google Photos is functioning normally. When you back up all of your photos, they get backed up to a main photo pool in the cloud. You can create virtual albums however you like using Google Photos, and those albums will sync immediately -- however, any physical albums you created on your phone (i.e., by moving a photo to a separate directory in storage) won't get duplicated in your Google Photos cloud. You can also teach Google Photos to recognize a face, and then group together all photos that include that face, making it very easy to search for a specific person. The search function is also quite powerful in terms of searching for other things as well (e.g., searching for "wedding" will bring up any photo the AI associates with a wedding).

Also keep in mind that if you're backing photos up to the Google Photos cloud and then subsequently freeing up space by deleting the local copies of the photos, then those photos will remain in the cloud. They can be viewed easily using your Photos app, but if you want to download it again to the phone for some reason, then yes, you have to download it. That's normal for cloud storage.

As for YouTube telling you you're offline, does this happen on any wi-fi network, or only a certain one? Does it happen on mobile data?

Looking back, it's kind of trollish.
Moreso, day by day!
