• Google Photos is reversing a change that removed partner sharing for screenshots, downloads, and photos from third-party apps.
• We were able to surface an option that lets you share photos from third-party apps with your partner in the latest Google Photos update.
• The feature was removed back in November but seems to be coming back.

Partner sharing is a feature that lets Google Photos users automatically share their library of images with selected partners. Back in November, Google abruptly removed partner sharing for screenshots, downloads, and photos from third-party apps — a feature that had been available in the Google Photos app since partner sharing first came about in 2017. Now, it looks like Google is reversing course by introducing a new option that will once again allow users to share photos from third-party apps with their partners.
