Google Photos users report handy drag-to-select feature has disappeared

Google Photos users have reported a sudden disappearance of a handy drag-to-select feature, affecting Pixel, Galaxy, and OnePlus devices. This convenient tool, which allows users to select multiple photos by dragging their finger across the screen after long-pressing one, has vanished from the app for some. Interestingly, Google has simultaneously introduced new guardrails preventing searches for terms related to regulated or illicit substances.

However, the sudden disappearance of the drag-to-select feature appears to be an unintended consequence, as users have taken to Reddit to report the issue.
