Make adding "Private" photos to a group more reliable
When I am in the family group, and I am on a photo that I uploaded via an album or anywhere that does not automatically make it "Private," I go through them one at a time to make them private. Sure, it is a trade-off, but sometimes I find it easier to upload to an album first and then make them each private so I can go through the process in batches according to an album.
Anyway, I am getting sidetracked because I'm wishing that I could do more batch changes in albums like a batch "make private." That is not the reason for my post though.
There is a glitch I experience.
When I click to make a photo private, sometimes it automatically pops in the name of the family group as having access. Sometimes it doesn't. However, if I then click "Edit" afterward to add a name, date, or place to the photo, I see that the actual access is "Private" without any family group exception.
What I mean is that it leads me to believe that it has automatically selected that a family group will have access and I do not click the "X" on that because that is what I wanted anyway. However, when I switch screens I see that this access did not actually save.
If I click it myself then the access does save, but if it automatically populates that as the group access it apparently does not save. I did not notice this was happening at first, so I probably have many photos I thought had group access, while instead they are actually private access only. I now wish I knew how to easily see which had group access and which were private only. Either way it only shows as a lock, so there is not a way for me to see which ones in an album or a memories page need their access fixed. I just see a lock, but that does not tell me if other people in my group will be able to see the images or not unless I look at each image out of hundreds. Please improve this process on both counts. 1. Work out the glitch I described. 2. Make it easier to identify the difference between private and private to a group (maybe add a lock with a symbol on it to signify private to a group instead of just private).

@Michael W. McCormick I can't reproduce this error. Is this still happening for you? If so, can you give me the steps that you are taking that causes this error and screenshots , if possible. Also, what operating system and browser are you using?
