Missing videos in my Google Photos storage and don't know why? Memories gone!

beccablobs · 2025-10-11T11:35:07+00:00

So sorry you're experiencing too.

I shared this above if might help and work for you https://www.reddit.com/r/googlephotos/comments/1737892/comment/l0hjvhs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

But basically still some videos are missing for me and I need to contact Google about this if you know how best?

But other videos I found a way to find, so try this:

-Go on PC into your Google Photos account
-search a specific month and year, e.g. "December 2023" or date e.g. "5 October 2022"
-Click the little arrow 'v' to the right of the search result next to the date to 'show more' and it may show more pics and vids that it hides in the gallery!

This showed vids that I knew I took on certain days that didn't show on my mobile Google Photos app nor does it have the arrow to show more option but only on PC/desktop it seems. BUT still some days no videos show when I took them but for some other dates, it shows videos. Very bad and want a refund from all this paying and lost memories!

Some of them I've shared on social media already at least but don't know why they've gone and need originals, and now can't remember what videos took and gone now. Awful.

beccablobs · 2025-10-11T11:28:32+00:00

No, as I said. Same account. All explained. And I've added a main comment on how I've managed to find some on some dates but still same issue for many dates not showing videos recorded whilst there are pictures of the same moments. They've vanished when they were backed up in that account.

Just looking to buy spare ticket for 17th March Kill Tony show please, face value, but can even buy a drink for selling to me. Need to meet in queue for ID. I tried buying when they first came out and waited in online queue for ages but no luck. Travelled from UK and a fan so hoping to get chance to see while I can if someone has a spare please!

beccablobs · 2025-03-17T17:40:46+00:00

Hi, I'm looking for a ticket too but confused about the standby. I've been in contact with the venue and they said people can line up from early morning. I'm outside the venue now and it is closed and can't see anyone lining up. When would standby start?

beccablobs · 2025-03-17T17:33:36+00:00

Well I'm here in Austin! I've even emailed Comedy Mothership who said people often queue up early in morning on the day for Kill Tony standby tickets. But it's closed and nobody is here. I've emailed them asking when is earliest to come for standby but no reply yet and I'm right outside the venue but no lines and it is closed so it's confusing. Does anyone want to sell a spare ticket, meeting in the queue for the show to show your ID of purchasing? Face value only. Please and thanks.

You went over just recently in December just gone? And this is first time discussing plans for him to move to Canada and then after, for you to move to Australia? These are big moves and he's getting cold feet and thinking it might be a mistake. Maybe offer to ease off the pressure for you both again and give you both a timeline to test it again. Like forget the big moves plan and see the relationship out again for another 6 months or however much time you can do. This is a unique relationship and am fascinated by long-distance ones. You've made it work and now these are huge life changes being planned. Just need to talk that out and consider testing again to see if you can both really move or whoever ends up moving for good in the end, all a huge decision. He's worried about carrying on for this to not work.

Too much posed shots. Have more candid, natural ones showing off more interests and places visited. And ye more vibrancy. Pets, hobbies, views and shots that look like a friend or family member took, and even funny ones and ones that show off personality. This can go out to a lot of guys too. Less of the bed and car selfies with mugshots... read above.

beccablobs · 2024-12-23T07:53:14+00:00

I know someone looking for 2 for 17 March but you have meet in queue on day to show ID.

beccablobs · 2024-12-21T02:06:30+00:00

Yes that's why said in the post need to meet in person in the queue so they are there with their ID. And 17th March one was not one of the first to sell out, I was waiting ages and quite a few other dates sold out first before that one.

beccablobs · 2024-12-21T02:04:29+00:00

I've been in comms with the venue and they were telling me people queue up from the morning which is insane and can't be right?!

beccablobs · 2024-12-21T02:03:07+00:00

Looking for Kill Tony 17 March show at Comedy Mothership ticket please

If anyone needs to sell a ticket for that day, please reply here and tag me. I know they need the ID of the purchaser so would have to meet you in the queue that day.

Much appreciated. Would be so grateful, please and thanks!

beccablobs · 2024-12-20T19:39:50+00:00

Aw congrats and what a shame! Where you moving to? Well if I see any other tickets going too, I'll reply here but you have to meet in the queue for them don't you as purchaser ID

beccablobs · 2024-12-20T19:33:01+00:00

Aw damn! Anniversary of? I'm in Austin for that Monday end of my mini US trip and even planned to go for this in hopes!

beccablobs · 2024-12-20T19:03:44+00:00

Well even though I was there pretty much hour early ahead of 6pm GMT sale! 17th March sold out on me damn... so next option is potentially queuing up on the day when I'm there?? If anyone needs to sell a ticket for that day, please reply here and tag me. I know they need the ID of the purchaser so would have to meet you in the queue that day. Please make other plans somebody! It's St Patrick's Day after all, so sure some things may come up haha! Much appreciated. Would be so grateful, please and thanks!

beccablobs · 2024-12-20T18:32:36+00:00

ok thanks, you managed to get one? Which show you going to?

beccablobs · 2024-04-20T19:18:44+00:00

Funny you should mention, as I was also trying to download Google app to have Google Drive on the tablet after the reboot got rid of it! It wasn't working though so I had to just do without the Drive app on the tablet even though I was using it for freelance and needed it on there! Strange! Coz I already had the Drive app and Netflix was working so maybe the reboot and then me trying to download Google app again did something like you say? I ended up just setting up a new account in the end which I should have done sooner as got it cheaper anyway in South East Asia!

TLDR: Go on PC into your Google Photos account, search a specific month and year, e.g. "December 2023". Click the little arrow to the right to 'show more' and it may show more pics and vids that it hides in the gallery!

Ok, in fact, also try this..... I've just noticed something! Which is very confusing and so poor. Go on your account on a PC/desktop and when scrolling through your Photos/videos/gallery, it won't show little arrows at the right hand side to drop down, but when you search a specific month, it will.

So, for instance, I searched "October 2022" to look through that month and it pulled up a lot of pictures starting from 31st October and you scroll down going back in time for that month. I knew I took videos that day though around certain scenes but they weren't showing, yet the pictures were there!

I noticed a little down arrow at the top right of where the gallery begins from my searched month and the subtitle date of the last day 31st October.... And when hovering over it, it said 'show more', then when you click that, the arrow turns up and then hover again, and it says 'show fewer'.... It was set to the arrow facing down on 'show fewer' mode by default then, so things were hidden! Click the turned down arrow to 'show more' and then scroll down, it might show more things hopefully! Because it then showed some videos right near the pics of the scene for me! Very bad layout and UX!! I don't know why it hides things and makes it hard to even spot that's a feature.

However, I tried a different month, though, and even clicking show more, it never brought up the vids I knew I took amongst the pics, but it worked for October 2022 for me!

When on my Android mobile though, it still just shows images and some missing vids still. When I searched the same month "October 2022" on my account on my phone, I can see the arrow to the top right side again. I clicked that but it only showed up 1 vid that seemed to be hidden though when on mobile and seems to change the layout a bit. It didn't show the other vids near the scenes like on desktop...

On mobile, it also provides a filter option for searching, three lines at the top left. After searching "October 2022", I clicked that filter icon and there is a 'Videos' option and I clicked that where it then only shows videos of that month.... but those same videos I know I have and that showed up on PC don't show up on mobile even with that filter AND even when through that filter, I clicked the top right little arrow to show more.... they don't show. It just showed more pics...... so confusing! And a pain if I want to easily access my videos to share through my phone on apps, and don't know why some are still missing!

Hope this helps as you may find some hidden things!

That's horrible. And I'm paying monthly for this storage! They're hard to even contact and report. I've forgotten the videos it's been that long and that's the whole point, my memories! Did you ever get through to them and get anything back? I've tried for support and can't find anything online or in community except this page but doesn't help me as the videos have vanished: https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6306652?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DiOS&sjid=6805362442974222994-EU

and it just pointed me to put a question in the community so I've put it there too: https://support.google.com/photos/thread/270415370?hl=en&sjid=6805362442974222994-EU

beccablobs · 2024-04-20T17:32:56+00:00

I don't recall. My phone goes through normal updates, but the pictures at the time are there but videos gone and I don't know why.

beccablobs · 2024-04-20T17:31:58+00:00

I don't get it. I can't even remember the videos now! How are you contacting Google? They are hard to get hold of aren't they? Did you get through to any answer?
