To view and save your images, Google images is among the greatest gallery/cloud photo storage applications available. In addition to offering a plethora of helpful functions, the app neatly arranges photographs from various sources and applications into distinct libraries for convenient access. This also helps in decluttering your gallery. Device screenshots are one of the picture sources that it organizes elegantly. Let's examine how to locate screenshots on Google Photos fast in this post.

Method 1: Use the Library Tab to Find Screenshots

Screenshots are easily located in Google Photos' Library section. Screenshots may be divided into two categories: those that are captured on the device and those that Google Photos identifies as screenshots automatically. On your phone, you can only locate on-device screenshots by using the Library feature.

1. Launch Google Photos on your phone.
2. Then go to the Library tab at the bottom.
3. Inside the “Photos on device” section, select tap Screenshots.
4. And that’s how you can quickly find on-device screenshots in Google Photos. All your screenshots will be sorted by date from newest to oldest by default.

Method 2: Use the Search Tab to Locate Every Screenshot

Use Google Photos' search feature to locate every screenshot that has been stored there, even if it was taken with a different device or was backed up on another.

1. Launch Google Photos and tap Search tab at the bottom right.
2. Scroll down and then tap Screenshots under “Categories”.
3. You will now see all the backed-up screenshots that Google Photos can recognize.
4. You can also tap on the Screenshots folder at the top to view the on-device screenshots. These items may not be backed up.

1. Open your favorite browser and go to your Google Photos homepage. Sign in to your Google account if you haven’t already.

3. Scroll all the way to find Screenshots under “Categories”.

Method 3: Use Google Photos Search to Locate Screenshots

One of the greatest methods to find images is to use the search bar in Google Photos. In addition to searching by category, it also allows you to search by text inside the images. For instance, you can search for a word in the Photos app and view all the screenshots that include that word. This is useful if you have a screenshot with a certain word in it but are having trouble finding it again. Please be aware that this feature requires a backup of your screenshots in order to function.

1. Launch Google Photos and go to the Search tab at the bottom right.
2. Tap on the search bar and type “screenshots”.

1. Invoke Google Assistant by saying “Hey Google” or using your phone’s assigned button.
2. Say “screenshots on Google Photos”.
3. Google Assistant should open all the uploaded and backed-up screenshots.
