Google Photos returns only 1 image even though multiple are selected

Reported by thehappy...@gmail.com, Jun 20 2018

Issue description

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Click the <input type="file" multiple />
2. Go to Google Photos App and select multiple images
3. Click done to go back to the web page

What is the expected behavior?
Multiple images are selected

What went wrong?
Only one image is selected

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 67.0.3396.68  Channel: stable
OS Version: 7.0.0
Flash Version: 

This task's purpose is to "reopen" the "Fixed" issue that is actually not fixed -- https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=348912

Note that "Gallery" and "Files" are also affected as described in that issue.

It wasn't an issue until I switched my app from accept="image/*" to // accept="image/*, video/*", which made the image selector app likely to make user to go to Google Photos App and hit this Chrome bug.

So is it correct to assume that you meant that this works in Firefox?

(On the same device)
It's funny but on Firefox it doesn't even let me choose multiple due to a bug in Firefox https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?format=default&id=1355389

But I tried in Microsoft Edge and Opera, which have the same problem.

So it looks like a it's a problem on Android's end? Let me know and I will create a bug report there.

What I meant originally is that it works in Safari Mobile.

It sounds like either a problem with Android, or with those specific applications, or with the browser. Someone is probably doing something out of the ordinary and someone else does not know how to handle it well.
Interestingly,that firefox bugreport has a reference to a related issue, which has the same description as this one -- they select multiple but get only one. What's confusing to me is that they found some lines in Firefox code that are supposed to fix it. So it might not be Photos app issue.
