To select all photos in Google Photos on your Android device, follow these steps:
1. Open the Google Photos app on your Android device. You can find it in your app drawer or on your home screen if you have added a shortcut.
2. Once you are in the Google Photos app, browse through your photo library and locate the first photo you want to select. Tap and hold on that photo until it becomes highlighted.
3. While still holding the first photo, scroll through your library by swiping up or down. As you scroll, the app will automatically select additional photos without you needing to lift your finger. This allows you to select multiple photos rapidly.
4. Keep scrolling until you reach the end of your library or until you have selected all the desired photos. The number of selected photos will be displayed at the top-left corner of your screen. This number updates in real-time as you continue to select more photos.
5. If you accidentally selected a photo and want to deselect it, simply tap on the selected photo again to remove the highlight.
6. Once you have selected all the photos you want, you can perform various actions on them. For example, you can tap the share button to share them with others, tap the delete button to remove them from your library, or tap the three-dot menu icon to access additional options like adding them to an album or editing them.
It’s worth mentioning that if you have a large photo library, selecting all photos at once may take some time, as the app needs to load and process all the images. Be patient and let the app complete the selection process.
In my personal experience, I often find the ability to select multiple photos at once in Google Photos quite useful. Whether I want to share a batch of photos with my friends or delete multiple unwanted pictures, the ability to select all photos or a specific set of photos makes the task much more efficient.
The process of selecting all photos in Google Photos on your Android device is straightforward and convenient, allowing you to manage your photo library easily.
