Google Photos may have corrupted some of your older images, but likely no need to panic yet

Many users report that the Photos app has corrupted some of their photos uploaded between 2013 and 2015

that some of their pictures uploaded between 2013 and 2015 appear corrupted, plagued by random lines and dots in black or white. It is like the photos are missing some of their data.

A possible bug in the transfer process from Google's servers to the Google Photos app might be causing some of the images to lose pixels. However, it looks like the pictures stored on the servers are uncorrupted, so don't panic, your memories are most likely intact. Google has yet to issue a statement on the matter.

We should note that the problem has been fixed for some people, but if you are still experiencing it, you can try to clean the cache of the Photos app and open the affected images again. This may resolve the issue, as it has for many people. To clear Photos's app cache on Android, go to: Settings > Apps > Photos > Storage > Clear Cache. To do the same on an iPhone, go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Photos > Offload App.Get the most important news, reviews and deals in mobile tech delivered straight to your inbox
