    it is not an achievement at all since it is forced on people to use it. it comes preinstalled and that is also counted on downloands numers

        It allows unlimited upload only on Pixel devices. Everyone else will have their images and videos destroyed by downsizing. I've had pictures as small as 2MP shrunk when Google claims I could've upload anything smaller than 16MP unchanged. Same for video. They say anything up to 1080p won't be downsized yet I had both 720p and even 480p videos destroyed.

          I think pre-installs count since they are listed on your device from the store and can be updated like regular installs.

          Google bloatware

            Isnt it preinstalled? Im pretty sure more than 1 billion smartphone have it preinstalled. Unless there really is android phone comes without this app preinstalled. That is amazing. Why people wants this? I never used it.

                    Bloatare, comes-preinstalled, better-alternatives, whatever!!! Best photo gallery/management app hands down! I have it installed on my iPhone 7 and every other device I own. So that number could be more, and so may it continue!

                        AnonD-77443, 26 May 2017You have no idea what you are talking about. Photos easily ... moreIt only uninstalls if you use root uninstaller since Google marked it as a system app (same with all their bloatware). And it is a poor excuse for a gallery app. And please go and upload some videos to Google photos and come back and tell us how great it is.

                          AnonD-77443, 26 May 2017You have no idea what you are talking about. Photos easily ... moreI have used it once.

                          Then put it away in my bloatware files that cant be uninstalled.

                          Sonys photo album app is superior.

                          End of story.

                                Not if it comes pre-installed on your device, and is set as the systems default photo/picture viewer.

                                  Remarkable milestone.

                                    Not that anyone should. It is by far the best photo cloud storage/organisation app available (iOS included) and free if you are happy with 80% photos.
