Description
Why doesn’t the Wordpress App support Gallery photos?
(internal references: 2625873-zen, p4a5px-2up-p2 cc @edwinho89)
I checked and could not find a way to add images from Google Photos via the media picker in the block editor (or via Media > Add New). At the time of testing, I had the Google Photos app installed and connected and I also made sure to run through the steps at https://en.support.wordpress.com/google-photos/ to connect the WordPress.com editor to my account to Google for the site I tested (I did that on the web per the instructions).
Tested with WPAndroid 14.0-rc-1 on Pixel 3 Android 10.

Compare the available sources with the expected Gallery photos access; done means users can select and insert Google Photos images in both stated entry points.
