The behavior you're describing is not uncommon, as Google Photos and the device's Gallery app may not always be synchronized in real-time. However, there are a few things you can check and adjust to ensure a more seamless experience:
Tap on the three horizontal lines (menu) in the top left.
Go to "Settings."
Select "Free up device storage" or "Remove items" to enable automatic deletion of photos and videos from your device after they are backed up to Google Photos.
Device Gallery Settings:
Open your device's Gallery app.
Look for settings related to cloud synchronization or Google Photos integration.
Some devices have an option to show Google Photos content in the device's Gallery, and you may need to ensure that this setting is enabled.
Google Account Sync:
Check if your Google account is properly synced on your device.
Go to your device's settings, then find and tap on "Accounts."
Select your Google account and make sure that "Sync Google Photos" or similar is enabled.
App Updates:
Ensure that both the Google Photos and Gallery apps are updated to the latest versions from the respective app stores. Updates often include bug fixes and improvements.
Device-Specific Settings:
Depending on the make and model of your device, there might be device-specific settings affecting how Google Photos and the Gallery app interact. Check your device's user manual or support resources for guidance.
Third-Party Apps:
If you are using a third-party gallery app, it might not sync seamlessly with Google Photos. In this case, try using the default Gallery app that came with your device.
