Google Photos has resolved a bug that caused edited photos to disappear from apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Google Messages, and Gemini, even though the images remained visible in the Photos gallery itself. APKMirror founder Artem Russakovskii reported the issue to Google, which confirmed and tested the fix in Google Photos version 7.97.

Google rolled out a new location metadata API for Android's Photo Picker in its August Mainline update, and Snapseed (version 4.1.5.970833206) is the first app to adopt it. The update adds a prompt asking whether to include an image's location info when selecting it, plus a floating toggle button to quickly enable or disable that metadata sharing.
