Google Photos has added a feature that has been quite essential for Android users, and that is the option to undo backups. This new feature enables users to delete accidentally backed up photos and videos on Google’s servers while still present in owning devices. Still, it is beneficial for the people who wish to share the cloud storage with friends and do not want to delete files as a standard. Google is compelled to do this due to the increasing demands of the users to have full control of their backups. Below is a general overview of this particular feature.

Highlights:

• Google Photos now lets users undo backups on Android devices.
• This feature removes cloud backups while keeping files on the device.
• It helps free up Google storage without deleting personal data.
• Users can access the undo option via the Google Photos app.
• The update is rolling out gradually, so availability may vary.

With this update, Google Photos has improved users’ ability to manage their cloud storage in the application. It will be recalled that after a photo or video has been backed up, the only way to free space was to delete it. Now, the undo backup feature enables users to delete the cloud copies and in the process does not delete copies on the local computer storage. This change is convenient for those who have restricted Google storage or for those who accidentally create backups of unwanted files. It makes it possible for the users not to lose his/her media belongings in the process of clearing up the clouds.

To reverse the backup option, open Google Photos on your Android device, select these backed-up photos or videos, tap on the three-dot menu icon, and deselect the “Remove from backup” option. This removes the file saved in the cloud while keeping the copy in your computer or any other device. The feature makes the administration of storage easier as it enables users to unload their cloud without eradicating the items permanently. It is a simple way back to the regime of what is stored by Google.

This update may also take some time to be implemented depending on the pace at which Google deploys it. If you can’t find the option mentioned above, please make sure that your application is up to date. Since the application has been constantly developed, a feature like this will prove to be useful to those who require better control over their storage space. Please expect more updates with regards to more improved ways of going about the management of digital media.
