3. Tap the search bar/icon: ui click

2. ui read_screen — confirm the photo is displayed full-screen
3. Tap the share button (share icon at the bottom): ui click
4. ui read_screen — read the share sheet showing available apps
5. Tap the target app (WhatsApp, LINE, email, etc.): ui click
6. Follow the target app's share flow using UI automation

Workflow: Share Multiple Photos

1. In the photo grid, long-press to start selection: ui long_press on the first photo
2. Tap additional photos to select them: ui click on each
3. ui read_screen — confirm selection count in the toolbar
4. Tap the share button: ui click
5. Select the target app and complete the share flow

Workflow: Delete a Photo

4. Tap "Move to trash" to confirm: ui click
5. Inform the user the photo has been trashed (recoverable for 30 days)

Tips

• Google Photos search is powerful — encourage natural language queries
• When describing photos, mention key subjects, location if visible, and approximate date
• Always confirm before deleting — this action is destructive
• For bulk operations (share, delete), confirm the count with the user before proceeding
• If the user says "find a photo of X", use search workflow. If they say "show me my recent photos", use browse workflow
