- Google photos on Android now allows you to quickly delete your photos and video backup.
- The new feature is called “Undo Device Backup” and has already been deployed on iOS.
- The option deletes photos and videos that are stored on Google servers without removing them from the device.
Google Photos obtains a clever new feature that gives users more control over their saved photos and videos. The new “Undo DIPRC” backup feature, which was previously deployed for Google Photos on iOS, is finally to come to the Android version of the application.
With the “Undo Device Backup” feature, Google Photos users can delete photos and videos stored on Google servers without affecting copies on their devices. Any deleted support using this option will always be available on the device. However, once the cloud is removed, the Google photos backup function will be automatically deactivated for this device.
