Google Photos has updated its Partner Sharing feature to exclude photos from third-party Android applications. This change was confirmed in a support document update. Partner Sharing allows users to automatically share images based on specific criteria, but it will no longer apply to unedited screenshots or images from other Android apps. Users cannot bypass this restriction by altering the photo's origin in the app, although edited screenshots can still be shared. The reason for this change is unclear, but it may relate to enhancing user privacy. Google has not communicated this update to users within the Photos app, and those using Partner Sharing have not received notifications about it.
