Now what - A20S has apparently stopped uploading to Photos

Soft reset. Can you still do that with Bixby?

 

I cannot.

 

what crappy icon are we talking about? and how do you know it has stopped uploading? is there an error? or just the pictures have not updated at all?

 

have you tried launching Photos and hitting your avatar in the top right corner? this will bring up a menu where you can manually backup your photos.

 

in google photos, at the very top will be your google avatar (if you made one). if you click on it, you should get your information including things like manage your account, your account storage, and also backup your account. if the backup sync has not automatically kicked in, you can manually have it backup. i'm out on the road right now so its hard for me to post a screenshot on what i'm talking about. if you have not found it yet, i will post it later when i have more time.

 

Bixby is another annoying snake in the grass, that sets your tablet into desktop mode, I really hate the idea of having to apply it since you are already taken such the note of,
not able to think about oh around a trillion things you would consider to have and then, just oh wait, It is a horrible thing ever that Samsung launch, IMHO.

 

I wouldn't know, I only buy phones with vanilla Android
