Frequent Question: How Do You Select Multiple Photos on Android Gallery?
Contents

Long press on the first image until the blue checkmark appears, then without lifting off the screen, slide your finger across any additional photos you want to select. If you want to select more than what’s shown on the screen, slide your finger up or down and hold it to auto-scroll and select as you go.

Thankfully, the Google Photos app makes this very easy: simply hold your finger down on the first thumbnail image and then drag your finger along the gallery until you get to the last one you want to share. This will select all of the images between the first and last, marking them with a tick.
