  "account": "Google has resolved a troublesome bug that prevented edited images from appearing in other applications when accessed via Google Photos. Android users had been experiencing this issue since the summer, with edited pictures disappearing from the image picker in apps like messaging and social media platforms. Saving edited images as copies instead of overwriting the original was a workaround, but users who wanted to exclusively use the edited version of a photo faced this inconvenience. Following reports from APK Mirror's Artem Russakovskii and 9to5Google, Google has finally patched this bug. Edited images should now be accessible outside of Google Photos, ending their virtual exile. This isn't the only recent Google Photos hiccup. Last month, the company acknowledged a problem that made the Share, Edit, Add to, and Trash buttons unresponsive on certain devices after a user made an edit. The issue was quickly addressed, according to Android Authority.",
