Big change for Samsung mobiles: this is how you will soon be able to save your pictures and videos

Samsung is transitioning from OneDrive to Google Photos for its Gallery app, starting September 30. Users' photos and videos will now upload to Google Photos by default, although this feature is optional. The rollout is gradual, with some users still waiting for the update. Google Photos uses existing Google storage, which is limited to 15 GB for free. Initially, only photos taken with the device will appear in the Gallery app, but changes may come later. The upcoming Galaxy S27 series is expected to retain privacy features and introduce storage-saving options that keep only thumbnails on the device. Previously saved OneDrive photos will only be accessible through Microsoft's services.
