Thanks! Glad to hear I’m not the only one who is flabbergasted by this design, but kinda bummed it wasn’t just user error. I appreciate the suggestions for workarounds.

Yeah, you’re right that that’s what’s going on. I realized it last night and I found a way to change the timestamp on all those photos. I haven’t done it yet but I’m hoping that will solve the biggest part of my problem.
Yeah I think I’m just going to need to build muscle memory to do it that way instead. I think it’s especially not useful for me because I recently imported all of my photos from iCloud. A whole bunch of what shows for me are old engagement photos of me and my ex. 😂
Android noob struggling with photo picker
Android noob struggling with photo picker - Lemmy.World
Hi all. I recently got a Pixel 8, and it’s my first ever Android phone. I’m loving it so far and glad I switched over. One thing that’s honestly driving me crazy though is the photo picker. On iPhone it was easy to pick a photo directly within the Messages or any other app, either a recent one, a favorites one, or one from an album, with just a few taps. When I use the photo picker from within the Messages (or other app) on my Pixel, though, it feels incredibly convoluted. First it pulls up a grid of 5-ish recent pictures, followed by rows and rows of seemingly random pictures from the past 20 years. To get to my favorites, for instance, I have to tap on the folder icon, then tap the three dots, tap browse, tap Photos, tap Photos again, then tap favorites. Is this really how it’s supposed to work, or is there a setting I can change somewhere? I’ve double checked that Messages has permission to access all photos and videos. Thanks in advance for any help!
Thank you! I really appreciate getting concrete info on what can / can’t be seen by IT admins.
Thanks! I installed this and it seems like it will do almost exactly what I want. I think I’d still prefer to have a calendar app where I can see both work and personal, but I can leave that as a project for another day.

Best way to add work Google account to phone - Lemmy.World
Hi all. I just got a new Pixel 8. It’s my first Android phone. My work uses Google Workspace but doesn’t use work profiles or manage devices in any way. I’d like to be able to do the following from my phone. - Check email - Check calendar - Join Google Meet meetings I looked around to see what our IT person might be able to see if I add this account in the phone’s settings, but I could only find stuff related to work profiles. Anyone know? Any reason I shouldn’t add it this way? Thanks in advance!
Anyone have a recommendation for a good let’s play of this? Anytime I’m thinking about watching a let’s play I never know who to pick.

I originally was planning to install GrapheneOS, but now I’m not so sure. I’m honestly quite interested in features like Call Screen and the photo editing stuff, and my understanding is that at least Call Screen won’t work on GrapheneOS. I’m definitely keeping it in my back pocket, but I want to try the full experience first, and I also need to go through a threat modeling exercise as well to decide whether I truly want to do custom roms or not.
