Pixel 2 can't edit Google photos

[Newport Viper]

Hi.
I can't edit (crop mostly is what I'm after) photos from my Pixel 2/Google photos and it's driving me crazy! I get no pencil to do so. Any advice? Thanks.

Thanks for posting the question. I felt like I was missing something obvious. Looking forward to someone posting a work-around.

When you open a picture in Google Photos, look at the bottom and there should be 4 icons at the bottom. The 2nd icon from the left looks like a set of EQ sliders. Press that and you will enter edit mode. You can also hit the 3 dot menu in the upper right corner and select "Edit In" and it will present any other apps on your phone to edit photos with (like Photoshop).

I just want to write and circle my pictures, is aviary the best for that. I would really like to do it within Google photos though.

That's the winner, thanks. I hope Google puts that type of editing into photos at some point.

Oh, the enigma of Google... Why not include Snapseed's features into Photos? Why not roll Allo, Duo, Messenger and Hangouts into a comprehensive messaging platform? Why not....

Exactly, messenger really is lacking but put some Allo in there and now we're talking.

After making your edits select 'DONE' in the lower right corner, then select 'SAVE' in the upper right corner. See the attached screenshots if you have any questions.
