A recent news on web has stood the biggest search engine giant in the palisade of delinquency. What if you find your photos are being uploaded on your Google account despite Google Photo app has been uninstalled from your smartphone? It’s like a blunder for a company which is known for its accuracy and precision in work.
Well, the fluke has been caught by a Nashville Business Journal writer David A. Arnott when he found his numbers of family photographs on Google Photos which had taken after uninstalling the Google Photo app. Even, he manually deleted all the photos and the app also from his smartphone.
Yeah, It’s queer to find a leader with such unorthodox and peculiar behavior. He said that later he deleted all Google Photos and also disable the Google Drive and Google Plus apps, but his phone was still saving the photos which he took from the phone’s camera. Well, it’s quite eerie for me to think about Google Photos upload settings.

Well, what you are thinking about the Settings is not the real one. Yeah, Instead of using Google Photos Settings for backups, the app uses Android’s Google settings. If you set auto-uploading of your pictures on cloud, then it will remain in action after removing the app from your Android device. To disable it completely, you will have to tap on the Google Photo Backup in phone’s Settings menu to make changes.
Well, this incident was a blow for Arnott where he found himself perplexed because of the pictures of his life’s precious moments on cloud without his knowledge.
