It looks like they really wanted to get both frames in one picture, so they did the obvious thing…load one frame on your phone, another frame on your partners, and then take your 2007 flip phone out of the drawer and use that to take a picture of both of them.
Side note: why is it SO HARD to put two images together into one image file on a smartphone? There are multiple apps that want $1.99/mo for the privilege of making a collage, Instagram Layout has been broken for years now, and the first party solutions (particularly Google Photos) are overengineered in some big ways (like not allowing you to make a collage without some kind of border) and underengineered in others (like not allowing you to choose an image from a search, make a different search, and then choose another image). And as far as I can tell the only way to actually put one image on top of another is to use Double Exposure on Snapseed.
We’ve had this problem solved on Windows for literally my entire life, and I’m pushing 40. So why can’t we figure out basic, no frills raster editing on mobile? I’m not even talking about layers (though, yes please). I’m talking about pretty much anything other than a filter.
I mean that. I’m not being sarcastic. I love that idea. I just don’t have the capacity for something like that; I just want something built in to Android.
My Samsung does it very easily with decent customization options in Gallery (and has for at least two phones). What phone are you using that can’t? I agree the collage feature in Google photos is lame.
Gotcha! I’ve stuck with Samsung because they make a phone that will fit in the pathetic excuse that is women’s pants pockets. My husband tried to get me to switch to the Pixel but it was too big.
Pocket extensions are a great beginner’s sewing project, nobody can see your pockets in most pants so it doesn’t matter if your stitches are uneven. A basic sewing kit is all you need, you don’t even need a sewing machine.
You say “gallery,” but do you mean “Google Photos?” And if so, did you miss the part where I said that exists but is weirdly both over- and underbuilt?
HOWEVER, it doesn’t mean it wouldn’t actually work. Google Play store just started doing this crap based on target API version. Due to that I often search Google for apps, check results from Play Store, and try getting an APK somewhere if I find app that looks interesting. The risk of that is obvious, just like with mod apks.
Edit: In case you trust me (which you really shouldn’t as I am just a stranger), I used this APK extractor: F-Droid linkGithub link
And uploaded the APK here: https://d.kuku.lu/ss3xcf7fe VirusTotal report shows the hash matches already checked Joint Pics_1.2.0_Apkpure.apk so it seems unmodified by the APK extractor (well, that’s what it said before my checks anyway as it uses filename from last previous check). It also came out clean, but that’s not 100% to be trusted, as usual.
Are you watching this on a Nintendo DS or something?

i’ve had this issue so many times I just gave up and now use gimp from vnc connected on localhost to termux
“Just.” That’s awesome.

photopea.com is extremely nice, it’s browser based.
I was skeptical until I saw a GitHub link on the page

Pixel, but I’ve had the problem with Motorola and LG in the past too.
Samsung has enough other problems that I’ll never make that leap, but it’s good to know that somebody is working on it.

Totally get it. I miss my Pixel 2 form factor.
Uuuh my cheap Android phone can do that from the gallery. Its called collage

I think Samsung subs in their own “Gallery” software on their phones. Other manufacturers may as well.
I really like JointPics: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.gr.java_conf.se_3.jointpics
Unfortunately, it wasn’t updated for 10 years, so it may not work for too long.
Bummer. Thanks for the thought, though!
As I said, it wasn’t updated in 10 years.

Or two Nintendo DS.
