Hi, are you referring to the Google Photos app? when you open the picture, do you not have the share button in the bottom left hand corner of the image?

Yea, that's not the problem. I don't like the Photo App and prefer to have all my photos in the Gallery App, but I can't get them there. When I share the photo through email I can see the photo but I can't save it to the Gallery app.

Not only that, but some photos when I save them go to both apps and so they are taking up room on my tablet and my phone my tablet is in Samsung S8 and it's just a mishmash mess. Like almost everybody else I have literally thousands of photos and I have to go to two or three locations to try to find them when they are automatically downloaded from an email. They appear to get downloaded to the photo app

I can't get them into the Gallery app where I have photo albums that I have defined and where I would like to move them.

Did you ever find a way to do that?

The Photos app also shows pictures that aren't on the phone but are backed up to cloud. So the only photos that are actually on the phone are in the gallery app. You have to download the photos that are in the Photos app.

Personally one of the first things I do on the phone is disable Photos.
