In this guide, we will show you the steps to fix the Google Photos Partner Sharing not working. The photo-sharing and storage service from the Mountain View giants is more than just a normal gallery app. It is still the go-to choice for many users, even after the removal of free unlimited storage for High-Quality photos. One major reason for the same is the plethora of nifty features that it beholds.
Recently it was blessed with the ability to lock your photos and videos and hide them from the prying eyes. However, it has to be the Partner Sharing that would still stand as its most underrated feature to date. For the unaware, this feature allows you to easily share your preferred images and videos with your partner without any manual intervention from your end. You could share all your photos, photos of specific people or from a specific date onwards.
However, as of now, not many users are able to make full use of this feature. A slew of complaints has lined up across Google Support Forum where users have voiced their concern that the shared photos are no longer visible in their Google Photos album. In this regard, their first course of action was to remove their partner and then re-add them. However, this is proving to be easier said than done.
When users are trying to re-add their partners via the “send invitation” option, they are instead being greeted with the “an unexpected error occurred” message. For some, the issue is all the more frightening as the Photos Sharing feature is missing from the app and hence they cannot even try removing and re-adding their partners. If you are also getting bugged with any of these issues, then fret not. This guide will show you the steps to fix the Google Photos Partner Sharing feature not working. Follow along.

Hello
I managed to send the partner sharing invitation to my husband and he accepted. However his photos and my photos do not appear at the same location of “Photos”. My husband’s photos can be seen under “sharing” . How can we see both photos at the same location, say, under the name of “Photos” ?
Many thanks for your help
