Google photos back up.
« on: Sunday 26 June 22 13:33 BST (UK) »
I have used bluetooth to transfer some photos from a quite old  phone to a new one  and they saved as Pictures in Gallery.
None of them have backed up to Google photos. I have checked and back up is on as it's saving photos I'm taking with the phone now.
Any ideas.

"Gallery" is not a Google App - could this be a Samsung phone ? 

In Google Photos app on the phone - go to Backup settings, and ensure that the "Gallery" folder (and any other Photo folder)  is set to be backed up.  It is not backed up by default.   

The photos taken by the phone are being backed up because "Google Photos" is set in the Camera app as the default storage location.

Yes it is a Samsung,  my other really old one wasn't even a smart phone.
Thanks.
