Android’s Photo Picker has always been the gateway to users’ local media library, providing a secure, date-sorted interface for users to grant apps access to selected images and videos.
What’s Changing:
Backed-up photos, also known as “cloud photos,” will now be merged with your local ones in the photo picker, eliminating the need to switch between apps.
Available in Google Photos, the Photo Picker will attempt to auto-select a cloud media app for you, but you can change or remove your selected cloud media app at any time from Photo Picker settings.
