NOTE:
On iPhone, Google Photos app is called "Google Photos" & on Android Phones, it's called "Photos"
NOTE:
Google Photos gives only 15 GB of free storage. So, as soon as you Turn ON your backup, it can soon fill up all your free space. This then can take your Gmail and other Google services out of action.
IMPORTANT:
Always allow at least 2 to 4 GB free storage for your Gmail.
15 GB free storage is for Gmail, Drive, & Photos combined.
Everything that's backed up is also sync. That means you could access them from anywhere by signing in to your Google Photos.
These are the same photos from Google Photos on a browser on a computer.
After turning OFF the backup, your photos & videos that were already backed up will remain in your Google Photos cloud.
NOTE:
Photos & videos with the cloud icon are also backed up to your Google account.
IMPORTANT:
Deleting photos & videos from Google Photos but keeping them on your phone isn't as simple. Watch my other tutorial, link in the description!

I just switched from Galaxy s22 to OnePlus 12. Can you do me. I need help with Google photos. What I'm trying to do is have Google backup any new photos and if I want to delete it from my phone, I still want to keep it in Google. Pretty much I want to manage each separately. Also when I turn backup on, it shows all my Google photos on my phone and it will not download it unless I press the picture.

[@harleyb-ham266]

This is as wrong as your first viseo two years ago. My backup is off but anytime I take a picture, it shows up in Google Photos.

[@jiminchim123]

Yeah same 😢

[@iamnotcaptainyt4953]

It just shows up their like any other photo viewer, it won't be backed up in cloud

[@harleyb-ham266]

@@iamnotcaptainyt4953 Yes it does!! You have to actually go into the settings on your phone, then find Google Photos, and turn off all access.

[@soorajrsekhar]

But it consumes space in google

[@perdidonoglobo]

And when I delete a photo from there with BackUp turned off, it deletes it also from my phone. Even when items are moved to my SD card. This makes no sense.

[@stephanyavila1554]

Hi! I have a question. If I have the backup turned off can I still back up my photos by manually clicking the photo and selecting to “back up” but while back up is turned off? 🤯 did that make sense lol please let me know if it made sense and if not I’ll try to explain. Thank you so much for your help in advanced

[@yasinzekikaskaya5361]

Somebody please help me. My photos are uploaded to Google Photos automatically but when I delete them from my phone, they are also get deleted from Google Photos. I turned on my backup setting but still I couldn't solve it

[@cre8tivetouch]

I am having the same problem. I want them to stay in Google photos but when I delete a photo from my phone, it deletes from Google photos and I have Backup TURNED OFF. No new photos upload but the ones there get deleted if I delete from my phone 😥😥😥 Has anyone found a solution to this yet?

[@DigiLonTV]

Yes, that's my problem too. I have deleted important videos on my phone from last year and it was also deleted in Google photos. It is now not a backup if it's like that.

[@garrcakes67]

For some reason my backup is turned off but my pictures and videos still are being uploaded to Google photos. Why is this ?

[@bhupindertube]

They're not uploaded! To learn why you think they're uploaded, please watch 👉 watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6rEg3uenNNqbs0 till the end!

The back up does not work when you turn the backup off and delete the photos in Google Photos they delete from your phone too.

[@bhupindertube]

That's why I've made another video explaining how to delete photos from Google Cloud rather than your phone - please watch 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6rEg3uenNNqbs0 . If it helped you, please don't forget to subscribe to support my channel. All the best!

This is not helpful i off backup but when i click photo from my camera Thay will save in google photos Plz help me

[@bhupindertube]

If you've followed the above method, then that's the way to turn off backup! Seeing a photo in the Google Photos app doesn't mean it's backed up! Please watch the above video till the end. I've explained this right at the end 1:41 . Soon, I'll upload another tutorial on Google Photos explaining in more details how it works & how to delete photos from the cloud. Please subscribe so that you'd be notified of the new video. If you still have any questions, let me know? All the best!

Same problem, did you find solution?

[@muhammadnurazlansaadon1504]

[@DylanLTindall]

I turned off backup a couple years ago, and oh boy. That was a huge mistake I made because my phone catastrophically failed and I lost all of my photos and videos because of it. My issue is definitely a reason why google has this feature.

[@bhupindertube]

I get your point and that's always the risk. However, 15GB of free storage is not enough to store all your photos & videos on the cloud. For example, I could fill up my cloud in just one day. Alternative solutions: If you'd have saved your photos & videos to an SD card, then you could still recover your photos & videos after your phone's failure. I also believe, you could still recover your photos & videos from internal storage but much more complicated. So, the best thing to do is to regularly transfer your photos & videos to your computer & keep a few backup copies.

[@matilodonorex8059]

Okay, but how do I stop folders from syncing images from one google photos account to another?

[@bhupindertube]

Would you please explain more what you mean by 2 google photos account? Do you mean 2 phones/tablets with 2 photos app or phone & google cloud or any other combination? Also, do you mean 2 different associated gmail accounts?

[@Purva2629]

​@@bhupindertube how to turn off same photo in two different Gmail account

[@Purva2629]

​@@bhupindertube pls i need fast reply

[@tttttreatment]

I believe it only backup, but not sync. I have 2 different phones. I used to see pictures taken by either phone on both phones, but now, i can only see all the pictures on the picture drive App, but now in the camera picture. It means, when I post something online by phone, choosing pictures from my phone, I only have access to the pictures taken by this phone, but not all the pictures from backup on the google drive.

[@bhupindertube]

Are both of your phones android or iPhone or mix? Which app do you use to view the photos, Google Photos, Gallery, Photos etc.?

[@tttttreatment]

@@bhupindertube Both are google pixel phones

[@liushen4122]

No working. Backup is turned up, but photos still uploading every single photo and video.

[@bhupindertube]

Now that you've turned off the backup, I suggest you to watch 👉 How to delete Google Photos without Deleting from Phone - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6rEg3uenNNqbs0 . In the same video, you'll also learn why your photos & videos are still on your Google Photos after turning off the backup!

[@ummeeillo8397]

But what happened if By mistake you delete your photos app

[@bhupindertube]

Nothing special, you just can't use the photos app anymore. However, I suggest you to rather learn how to use it than to delete it. It's one of the best apps for viewing and editing photos/videos. You should just learn how to disconnect (unsync) your photos/videos from its cloud.

[@vastolord-aa5084]

Hey if anyone found the solution please share, I don't have storage, if i want to delete photos from Google photo then it automatically deletes from my phone. I have lots of memories there😢. If i don't make storage then they will not send any email to me. I don't know what to do.
