How to Share photos from Google Photos

Sharing on Google Photos is quite simple to use. However, the process differs across platforms.

Share Photos from Google Photos on Android

Launch the Google Photos app on your smartphone and choose the media file (image, video or album) that you want to share.
Select the Share icon (three dots joined by two lines) from the bottom of the screen and choose the Share option that you want. You can either Send in Google Photos or Share to Apps. Sending in Google Photos allows you to share a media file with another Google account and you can send to multiple of them by creating a New Group. On the other hand, Share to Apps lets you share your photos using third-party apps. You can share with social media apps like WhatsApp, Facebook and Messenger, mail apps and as well as media sharing apps like Xender.
Depending on the option you have chosen, enter the contact, phone number, or email address of the recipient and Share.

Share Photos from Google Photos on iOS

You have to install the Google Photos app on your iOS device since it doesn’t come pre-installed like on Android. Once you have the app installed, kindly proceed:
Open your Google Photos app, select the photo, video or album you want to share and open.
Tap the Share icon from the bottom of the screen, then select Share to. You can then copy and paste into an SMS, Facebook, Twitter, or anywhere. Instead, using the slider menu directly, you can select Google+, Facebook, or Twitter.

Share Photos from Google Photos on PC
