Google Photos is an excellent resource to help you keep track of your photos. If you have a Google Pixel phone, your pictures are automatically stored in Google Photos. If you want to use a photo for social media sharing, the photo might be stored in the Google Photos cloud rather than on your device. This leads to confusion because you're able to see the picture on your phone. However, to share it, you'll need to download the photo to your phone or computer. Choose your device below, and follow the instructions on how to download a photo from Google Photos.
