I left Google Photos for Immich, but Android made me come back

The writer had been using Google Photos for years, storing decades of photos and videos. As their library grew, they wanted more control over it. They switched to Immich but were forced to return to Google Photos due to issues with Android.

Some Google Photos users have reported that a feature has gone missing, specifically the ability to drag to select multiple photos. This issue has been seen on various phones, including Pixel, Galaxy, and OnePlus devices. According to Android Authority, users have taken to Reddit to report the problem.

The drag to select feature allows users to select multiple photos by dragging their finger across the screen, after long-pressing a photo to enable multi-select. Android Authority reports that this feature has suddenly stopped working for some users.
