Unhiding photos in Google Photos, bringing them back to your main photo feed, is a straightforward process primarily involving the Archive section.
If you want to unhide pictures you've previously hidden and make them appear on your main feed again, the process is just as easy as hiding them. You can access your archived photos and select which ones you want to restore to your main gallery view.
Steps to Unhide Photos
To unhide photos stored in your Google Photos Archive, follow these steps based on the provided information:
- Tap on the menu, usually located from the top-left corner of the Google Photos app.
- From the menu options, select "Archive." This section contains all the photos and videos you have previously hidden.
- Inside the Archive, Long press on the photo you want to unarchive. You can select multiple photos by long-pressing the first one and then tapping on others.
After selecting the desired photos, you will typically find an option to "Unarchive" or "Restore" them. Tapping this option moves the selected items back from the Archive to their original location in your main photo library, sorted by date.
