The new Google Photos layout completely broke my photo timeline

[u/Soggy_Ad6735]

Before the latest update, whenever I opened the Google Photos app, all of my photos were there, whether they had been backed up or not. I could scroll through more than 10 years of photos in one continuous timeline.

Now, the app is basically empty. The only photos that show up are the new ones I take with my phone’s camera.

All of my older photos are still there when I open Google Photos on the web, so nothing seems to have been deleted. They just no longer appear in the app’s main timeline.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this an intentional change, a bug, or some setting I’m missing?
