One of the many convenient features Google Photos offers is partner sharing. It’s a feature that allows you to easily share your library of images with others automatically. Since its launch in 2017, you could share any image in your library. However, that has now changed after a recent update.

Originally launched back in 2017, Partner Sharing is a form of sharing in Google Photos where you can share your library of photos automatically with another user. This can share all photos, photos of specific people, or time-based sharing after a specific date. It’s a handy feature, but it’s seeing a change right now.

Google Photos is one of the best cloud-based photo backup tools. Google keeps improving the service with new filters, AI-powered search, editing tools, sharing options, and more.

Partner Sharing lets you instantly share your Google Photos library with someone else, but now it won't work with external photos.
