Reply to Removing people from a shared album.

Google Photos•1/6/2020

After you have saved the photos to your library, then you block someone, is there a way to find out which photos belonged to which albums? We were doing some renovations in different apartment units, and let go an employee that had uploaded shared images into our albums. I was smart enough to add the images to my library, but once the person was blocked, they no longer showed up in our albums ... I won't know which apartment unit a picture of a countertop belongs to just by finding it in my library.

I did notice, however, that once the user was removed from our albums, any album that only had images he had uploaded now shows a grey blank space as the place holder, and still says "4 items" in it, even though when I go to the album, it's empty. Is there any way to be able to identify or re-trace which "4 items" they are so I can piece back together which images go to which albums?

I don't mind that it asks for the caller to state their name. It's that it used to remember that number so they only had to go through that process once, and then they would usually just forget they did it. But now, they are asked for their name every single time they call. And this is happening to people that are in my contacts. But even for people not in my contacts, why force them to say their name every time, it was working just fine before when it remembered their name from the first time they stated it, so why is it forcing me to add them to my contacts? It might be a mortgage agent I'm talking to for a loan quote, but I only talk to that person 3 or 4 times before I decide to use someone else ... do I really need that person in my contact list? But like I said, it's not even working that way for me anyway, even people in my contact list are asking me what's wrong with my phone service. It's embarrassing, to say the least. Sorry this thread is getting all this heat, again, I recognize you said you're just volunteers, I can appreciate that.

One other thing, if anyone from Google Voice sees this thread - everyone that's called me and had to go through stating their name EVERY TIME THEY CALL now thinks google voice is weird, it's turned them off, and they probably won't ever even try Google Voice out. So if your goal is to turn the world off, you've done a great job with this one change. I've also had people just hang up without bothering to state their name - they don't want to do that, they feel somehow invaded, even though that's not really the case. I don't even see those calls coming through, I only hear about them from people later, so who knows how many calls I'm not getting just because this change scares people off.

I apologize - I just saw there were 11 more comments that were hiding, and you mention you are not from Google, just a volunteer. So take that last comment and know it's directed at Google, not you, but like you said, they don't read this ... ugh, what a mess.

Hey Bluescat - you answers seem to leave a lot to be desired - I give my google voice number out as a phone number, regardless of if it's for clients or personal - what difference would that make to Google? Either way, I have people calling me that ARE in my contacts list, and they STILL are required to state their name EVERY TIME - my own MOTHER doesn't want to have to keep doing this. But it seems like your answer might be "Google Voice was never intended to be used by people's mothers" ... so here's the bottom line for you and anyone else running Google Voice - this new change SUCKS!!!!!!! I mean, it REALLY sucks ... to the level of making Google Voice a much less functional service. Why would you force something like that on ANYONE?!?! What is wrong with you guys? Google Voice is a great service, I swear by it ... but why would you make it worse? I can't fathom the reasoning, and even less so the strange "non" defense you are posting here. Maybe you can try to be better at explaining things instead of berating your users? "Do no evil!"
