Photos from Google Photos

1. Open Settings → Photos and press From Google Photos.
2. Google Photos opens. Pick the photos you want and press Done.
3. Hestia copies them to your wall and they join the photo rotation.

Google lets apps receive only the photos you pick, so new photos in your library do not arrive by themselves: pick again to add more (photos already on the wall are skipped). For an album that keeps itself up to date, use an iCloud shared album.
