google home photo frame

[ameliarhodes]

I’ve had my google home for a few years and never had a problem with my photo frame which displays photos from an album i created on google photos. Recently I made another album as I wanted to change the photos and it displays the new photo frame for a bit but then changes back to curated photos which is so frustrating as I don’t want random images as my photo frame. I’ve tried everything like deleting the album and making a new one, unplugging the google home, etc.

I would suggest trying 3 things. One is Re-select Your Album, the other is Clear Cache & Data, and the last is Check Google Photos Settings – Make sure your album isn’t private or restricted in Google Photos.

I believe this is the same issue that is affecting a lot of people
