About Google Photos

Google Photos is a photo storage service developed by Google. It was launched on May 28, 2015 and is operated by Google. The service is available at https://photos.google.com/.
Google Photos is Google's photo storage service for backing up, organizing, and sharing pictures and videos. When something goes wrong, it usually shows up as slow uploads, missing photos in the app, or trouble signing in. This page gathers reports from users so you can quickly see whether the problem is on Google's side or your own connection.
Google Photos stores your photos and videos in the cloud, with automatic backup from your phone and access through the web at photos.google.com. It was developed by Google and launched in 2015. The service also handles editing, albums, and sharing with other people. Most reported issues are app-related: the app freezes, won't open, or runs slowly. Sync problems are common too, where new photos fail to upload or older ones disappear from the grid. Login errors and server connection failures appear when Google's backend has trouble, and occasionally DNS or domain issues prevent the website from loading at all. Start by checking your internet connection and switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data. Make sure the app is updated to the latest version, and try restarting it. If photos are missing, confirm backup is enabled in settings and that your account has available storage. Clearing the app cache or signing out and back in fixes many sync glitches. If the website loads but the app does not, the problem is likely local to your device.

Questions

Is Google Photos down right now?

According to reports on this page, Google Photos looks fine for most people. Isolated failures still happen — report yours if you are stuck.

When was the last mass outage?

We do not have a recorded mass outage for Google Photos yet.

Why are my photos not backing up to Google Photos?

Backup usually stalls when the app has no stable connection, is out of date, or is waiting on charging and Wi-Fi conditions set in your backup settings. Check that backup is turned on, connect to a reliable network, and keep the app open for a few minutes to let the queue clear.

The Google Photos app keeps freezing or won't open. What should I try?

Close the app completely and reopen it, then check the Play Store or App Store for an update. If it still freezes, clear the app cache in your device settings or reinstall the app. Your photos stay safe in the cloud, so reinstalling does not delete anything.
