Later, in response to a question whether he has actually seen any photos of other people he says:

    No, just their accounts are listed. I am not able to see any photos - not even my own.

That is NOT what is stated, which is:

>Although I am being shown a bunch of accounts to choose from, I am unable to get photos from Google Photos to show on my tv. Not even my own.

The tweet (like almost any similar tweet in my limited understanding) is not clear and void of actual "proper" descriptions of the issue, but it seems like the issue is with "random" images appearing in the "ambient mode screensaver" (whatever it is):

>Private @googlephotos of strangers are being shown to me in the ambient mode screensaver.

If you look further down in the thread you can see how someone asks whether he saw any actual photos and his reply (which is what I posted).

Maybe he is talking of the (small) photo associated to the profiles?

Like in this picture (by another user on the same thread)?

But then what is the "ambient screensaver"?
