  "account": "Samsung has recently started rolling out Google Photos integration within its Samsung Gallery app, according to tipster Ice Universe. This integration allows users to automatically back up their photos and videos from Samsung Gallery to Google Photos. However, it seems that users cannot currently view their entire Google Photos library within Samsung's photo app. Earlier this year, Samsung ended its partnership with Microsoft to back up photos and videos to the cloud, opting instead to work with Google. The integration is currently available in the latest version of Samsung Gallery (v15.9.01.7), which can be accessed by opening the app, tapping Menu, then Settings, and finally \"Sync photos and videos.\"",
