There have been two occasions now where I take photos with the FP6, but when I get back to them a bit later, most of them aren’t in the camera app or in Google Photos. For instance, yesterday I was running some tests on a computer, taking a photo of each test result on the screen as it completed. I must have taken 6 or 7 photos, but I ended up with only one. A few days ago I took some shots of something outside, same story.
Anyone else experiencing something similar? I’m on FP6.QREK 15.91.0 and there are no updates available to apps or system.
I guess you’re using the default Google settings? The Google photos app summarizes similar photos that were taken behind each other. Your screenshots for sure look pretty similar. If you tap onto the photo once, then you’ll see a list of all photos collected under the one photo that you still see. And there you also have options to disable that feature.

I’ve had this issue. What seems to be happening is when I open the last taken photo it is hanging with “Processing…”, which it never finishes. So must give up and the picture doesn’t appear in the gallery. It may still exist on the filesystem though.
Yes that is likely. Use the Files app and go to (internal storage) DCIM > Camera.

Hi Martin,
Thank you for responding. I am aware of that functionality, but that’s not what’s happening here I think, as I don’t see the photos stacked. And I think I should still see them unstacked in the camera app itself, even if they are stacked in Google Photos?
Thank you, both for welcoming me and for answering. Maybe this is indeed what’s happening, that something goes wrong with processing. I can’t find those photos on the file system at the moment, though, maybe it doesn’t get to the point where the photos are actually saved.
This could be it, thank you! I hope to get to a point where I can reproduce it, will keep an eye out.
This also happened to me the in first couple of days of using the phone, when I took a photo and opened it from the camera itself, the photo was stuck on processing for 30 seconds or so and then it just disappeared. Happened with 3 or 4 photos.
But in the last few days it seems to have fixed itself as I didn’t lose any more photos, kinda strange, but happy
I recommend you try using a different camera app such as Open Camera, just to see if the problem is associated with the stock Camera app specifically.
I actually think it’s related to the photo album app. I had an update to that as soon as I started using the phone.
