Open it via File Manager
Yes it’s working fine via file manager, this is happening only in photos. Any reason what might have caused this?
I updated today morning and this happened.
I dont know how its called or where it is but youve turned ‘enhance photos in gphotos settings automatically’. Or i might be wrong but i remember smth like that
No Google scrapped that thing, now you have to enable that enhance picture individually.
Also FYI Guys this thing is only happening in the latest update not the previous ones, I uninstalled the updates. It’s working fine but the since there’s no dark mode I gotta love with it.
Settings> display > standard contrast
I’m on reading mode and I tried it, still same
I’ve got the same issue (Mi9). But it only happens with 48MP photos. I usually shoot 12MP though, so not a huge problem. But still a little bit annoying. I suppose they’ll fix it in a future update. I suggest you leave feedback for them. Nothing you can do about it I guess.
Done that and it’s happening in one plus 7 pro and razer phone 2 also.
Same here. Buggy update, wait for next one.
I think the app just tries to “improve” photos currently.
Seems a lot of people are effected (myself included). Super annoying bug…

Yes, I had the same problem. Changing the contrast setting from “auto” to “standard” in MIUI fixed it for me.

Same here on Xiaomi MI 9 SE. It’s indeed the last update of the app that does that. Fixed by uninstalling the update, now we wait for a new one.
Same problem here

Can confirm – this resolved it for me also.
Buggy update…
Are the photos in RAW?
No all are JPEG
Is there any particular reason that so many of you use Google Photos? (Never used Android before, about to switch from iOS, waiting for my Mi 9T to arrive)
Unlimited storage at high quality. Uses storage when used original quality. But difference between high quality and origin quality is minimal that you have to check pixel by pixel to identify.
Google photos have a very good of way sorting out photos with their folder names even if they are inside the same folder and have same names. Also they have a nice way of sorting the photos from the uploaded ones and the ones on the device storage together. Added bonus is the backing up photos easily and integrates with GCam.
You mean uninstalling the updates?
Bad JPEG-Rendering.
Aside from the automatic, free, unlimited photo sync, you can search something like ‘food’ and it totally gets all your photos. It also automatically groups together faces so you can search by your friends’ names and it knows who they are. It’s fucking magical.
Even if this works it is not a good workaround as it impacts the overall contrast of the phone
Can you turn off automatic update just for Google photos?
… but this workaround makes the colors washed out across the board it seems. The screen also turns more yellowish with this change…
Yes, on the Play Store on app’s listing page. But with every update it will ask you if you really want to skip updating it
