A
Android Central Question
Hi guys, I've just switched to a Pixel 2 after 10 years of iPhones, so forgive me if I seem a little green. Just trying to get used to the way Androids work!
I'm having some issues with uploading to Instagram (and other social media) from Google Photos.
On iPhone, I used to look through all the photos I'd taken on a trip, tap the 'favourite' button on the ones I wanted to post to social media, then go into Instagram (/FB/Twitter), select my Favourites folder, and they'd all be there.
I just tried this on my new Pixel and discovered that, although there is a 'favourite' function in Google Photos, the Favourites folder isn't a LOCAL device folder, and therefore that folder isn't accessible from Instagram.
What I'd like to know is - is there a way of either:
- Making the Favourites folder local on the device?
- Or creating a new local folder on the device which I can move favourite photos to?
I'm aware that it's possible to share individual photos from Google Photos to Instagram or Facebook, but this doesn't seem possible with multiple photos.
Any help would be great, thanks!
