Yes, I get notifications and badges for shares in Google Photos. What is this new "conversation" view though? I'm up to date and mine is same as always. Edit: just tested the new conversation view and nope it did not send a notification. Just the app badge for 1 alert. No actual notification though. So no, the new system is not working correctly. edit 2: works perfectly now edit 3: weirdly though all my previous shares are gone now Answer from miggitymikeb on reddit.com

r/googlephotos on Reddit: Do iOS users get notifications when a photo is shared with them in Google Photos?
December 9, 2019 -

Most of my friends and family use iPhones (I don't). What's the notification experience like when I share a photo from within Google Photos (specifically, the new "conversation" view in the Shared tab)?

I tried sharing a photo directly with my work iPhone (I have another Gmail account on that phone) and didn't get any notification about the share on that phone (and DND mode was not enabled). That really makes the new Conversation view pretty useless, since many people don't regularly check Google Photos unless there's a notification telling them to do so.

I have been added to a few shared photo folders within Google Photos. Whenever someone adds a photo to the shared folder, or comments on a photo, or likes a photo within the folder, I get a notification on my iPhone.

r/googlephotos on Reddit: How does Google photos notifications work when someone comments on a picture?
April 4, 2024 -

Shared pictures and comments?

If you comment on a shared picture will the owner receive a notification?

Is receiving a notification the default setting? Will there be a sound notification where the message will pop up under notifications but they wont have to actually open the app (i.e. they could read it without you knowing.) would they get an alarm on their phone or would it only notify them if they went in to Google pictures or their email.

New Google Photos update adds new notification section
November 4, 2024 - If someone comments on your photos or albums, you’ll also see this here. The new update adds a bell icon to the top corner. Clicking on it reveals a page called updates. The update is rolling out now, but I only have it on my OnePlus Open. My iPhone 16 Pro is still on the old update with the people icon.

When you tap the banner, you’re taken to a setup screen that says “You’re almost done,” complete with a progress bar. Below it, three actions are listed for turning on backup, allowing notifications, and signing in with your Google account.

Notification images appear in Google Photos backup - Android Enthusiasts Stack Exchange
Photo is a Gallery replacement, it will display pictures from any folder that does not contain the empty file .nomedia in it. Are they being backed up as well? ... Yeah this kind-of confirms what I was thinking. Pictures that are stored on my phone do show the path to the folder. The pics are not on the phone (stored in the cloud) only have the file name. These pics that came from notifications only have the file name, so they are not stored on the phone.
