Google Photo Collaboration Setting - Let others add their photos & videos

The following is only referring to "Create Link" in Google Photos for sharing.

Recently I've found that there are two issues with the collaboration option.

1. The collaboration option is no longer available in the sharing pop-up dialog. You can only do the setting separately.  It means it needs additional steps to amend the settings.  You are no longer to do this in a single step within the sharing pop-up. 
2. In addition, you can only create one and only one single share link which is either allowing all viewers to add photos or view only.  In the past, you could create two separate links one after another for the purposes; one is readonly while the other can allow people to view and add photos and videos.  

I am not sure if it is a bug in the recent changes (December, 2019) or it is an intent.

How to set collaboration for either "view only" or "Let others add their photos & videos"

By default, the setting is "Let others add photos & videos"  To change it, do the following:

1. Go and access the "More options" icon at the top-left corner nearby your profile picture.
   
   
   
   
   This is applicable to the following two (2) situations
   • When you create an album before adding all photos, you can do the setting immediately.
   • After you have added photos to the album, you can change or amend the settings.
2. Click or select the "Options" menu item to proceed.

3. In "Options" pop-up, locate "Collaborate" section to enable or disable "Let others add their photos & videos".  Note the default setting is enabled.

WeChat Team Official Account is the Official Spam Account

WeChat Official Account 
Screen Name: WeChat Team
WeChat ID: WeChat

I've recently installed WeChat to my phone and been spammed by WeChat official account (WeChat Team) since then.  WeChat Team will periodically spam you with all the unwanted advertisements and promotions (e.g., concerts, restaurants, celebration parties, coupons and etc.).  It is quite annoying.  The worst is that there is no way for you to get rid of it or remove it from your WeChat contact (perhaps uninstalling WeChat app may do the trick).  "WeChat Team" is the default subscription channel when you first installed it.  In order to install WeChat, your cellphone is required, not the email address.  It is different from the past that I heard.

Personally I would like to remove WeChat from my phone.  To keep in touch with people who live in China, WeChat seem to be a good tool except for those spams by the official "WeChat Team".

As per Contact Us at the WeChat official site, the "WeChat Team" account is used for feedback and suggestions.  Sadly, it is actually an official spam account used by WeChat Official.  I have never got a response from them either.  Sending emails via their support email address is also in vain.

Dealing with spams sent by WeChat Official is even more difficult than emails.  Frustrated!
