The SHARE list is limited in Google Photos

[FF22]

I believe in the recent past, like last week, if I was in the Photo app and I hit the SHARE button, I would get an extensive list of Apps that I could use to SHARE the photo. One of those apps was INBOX (Blackberry's Email app which consolidated email addressES and text and some other apps like WhatsApp).

Frankly, it was the way I shared my Wordle, Strands, Connections and Spelling Bee results with my friends. Both wins and losses. Or other photos I had just taken or screenshots of something noteworthy.

I noticed the other day that what was an extensive list of Apps to use to SHARE pictures (or pdf's or whatever) was now shorter and BB's Inbox was gone.

Anyone know how to add to the list of Apps that comes up when you want to SHARE something? Or why it is now limited?

Thanks in advance.

I just checked mine and had 13 rows of choices plus 2 rows at the top.

Have you tried Google Gallery app?

This is what I see if I hit the share from one of the photos in my Google photos app

Hiya Full Frame
And this is what I get from 'Share' in Google Photos:



. . and if I tap 'More' . . then:


Btw, hope your knee heals swiftly and perfectly!

I wouldn't be surprised if anything Blackberry stops working, given how they're long out of the mobile phone business.

They have been depreciating their apps for over 10 years now. Doesn't surprise me it's not available anymore

It should remember your recent apps for sharing though and that should be a phone thing. As you can see in my photo the top ones are recent ones that I've shared and then there are the options underneath for more sharing apps.

Btw if you long press the app you can pin it

I looked this afternoon and the app is still available in the Play Store.

I like the PIN idea but if the app does not show, it can't be pinned!

Oh apologies if I misunderstood so you don’t have the app on the phone currently ?

I have the app on the phone but it does not appear in the Share option anymore.

Let me see if I can load the app, what's the play store link?

I'm going to check the app permissions I noticed camera is not allowed I was able to toggle it off of while using app but I don't think that will help with the Google photos issue

Messed with a few things and seems Inbox does not come up for options as you stated. Thinking of the best way to share it there would be create link to photo from it..

Well, I can share it with Gmail. But I know INBOX was there last week. Because, other then Messaging, I shared mostly through the INBOX app.

Thanks for taking the time. If I recall, at least one of the BB apps was updated this month. I can't image why it would drop off the list.
