Google has introduced a new feature for its Photos app that aims to make deleting backed-up photos and videos easier. It was reportedly first spotted in June, with code strings of the Google Photos app hinting at a feature with similar functionality. The feature, dubbed ‘Undo Device Backup’, lets users remove media from the cloud storage space offered by Google without affecting their presence on the local storage on a particular device.

Undo Device Backup Feature on Google Photos

On a support page, Google announced the rollout of this feature. Prior to its introduction, there was no way to delete photos and videos from the Google Photos backup without removing them from the device’s local storage too. While there was a workaround involving turning off the backup on a mobile device and then using a desktop to delete media, it required going the extra mile.

The New ‘Undo Device Backup’ Feature in Google Photos for iOS

Google says it has rolled out the ‘Undo Device Backup’ feature for users who may not want all of their photos and videos backed up anymore. It could particularly come in handy for users who are not enrolled in the Google One plan and have just 15GB of storage for Gmail and Google Photos combined.

To use this feature:

  1. Open the Google Photos app
  2. Tap the profile picture icon > Google Photos settings > Backup.
  3. Select undo backup for this device and check the box which states, “I understand my photos and videos from this device will be deleted from Google Photos”.
  4. Tap Delete Google Photos backup.

With this feature, all the photos and videos stored locally on a particular device will be deleted from the Google Photos backup, without affecting their local counterparts. They will also be removed from albums, shared albums, search results, and memories. It includes media in the locked folder on the Photos app. Google says that once the Undo Device Backup feature is used, backup will be turned off automatically.

At present, this feature has been rolled out on Google Photos for iOS and will be available on Android soon. Gadgets 360 staff members can confirm its availability on the latest version of the Google Photos app.

Google Photos has introduced a redesign for its app on the iOS platform which updates the bottom bar with fewer options than before. Its latest update brings functional changes including the removal of the ‘Memories’ tab from the app’s home page. It has been replaced by a new button which can be accessed by navigating to a sub-menu. Notably, this follows the rollout of a new feed which brings options to see updates to shared albums, conversations, memory, and storage.

Moments Tab in Google Photos

The changes have been introduced with the Google Photos for iOS app version 7.9 which is available for download via the App Store. Following its rollout, the Memories tab has been removed and replaced by Moments, but its placement is dissimilar. Instead of appearing on the home page of Google Photos alongside the Photos and other tabs, it has been moved to the Collections tab.

This means the bottom navigation bar now comprises only three options — Photos, Collections, and Search.

However, its functionality remains the same. Moments in Google Photos for iOS leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to curate a custom and personalised collection of the user’s important photos and videos. They can add details, search for specific moments, and share them with others.

Gadgets 360 staff members can confirm the arrival of the new Moments tab in Google Photos for iOS.

Other Recent Changes

Google Photos app recently rolled out another new feature dubbed Updates which makes it easier for users to keep up with the incoming activity. It shows up as a new feed on the app’s home page with options to see updates made to shared albums, conversations, memory, and storage.

It has been introduced on both Android and iOS platforms and adds to the growing list of changes introduced in recent months, such as the Collections tab which replaced Library in August.
