How To Fix Google Photos Showing Error On Phone?

To fix errors on your phone when using Google Photos, you can try the following steps:

  1. Restart your phone: A simple restart can often resolve minor issues.

  2. Update the app: Ensure your Google Photos app is up-to-date. Go to the App/Play Store, find Google Photos, and if an update is available, install it.

  3. Clear cache and data: Go to your device's Settings > Apps, select "Google Photos," and clear the cache and data. This will not delete your photos from Google.

  4. Check network connection: Ensure that your device has a stable internet connection. If it's a Save to Device issue, switch between network types (mobile data or Wi-Fi) as needed.

  5. Grant permissions: Make sure Google Photos has the necessary permissions to access your device's storage and network.

  6. Disable and re-enable backup: Clear data for "Media Storage" in the device settings, then reopen Google Photos and enable backup.

  7. Uninstall and reinstall: Uninstall Google Photos from your device, wait a moment, then reinstall it from the App/Play Store.
