[help] Turn off Google Photo Backup

TexNox@feddit.uk to Android@lemmy.world – 14 points –

Hello all, so something recently changed with the Google photos app on my pixel 6 and it's automatically uploaded all my photos filled the space out and is now complaining angrily that I've used all the space.

I don't want to use Google backup, I have a OneDrive account and it backs up all my photos. The Google backup is redundant but now it's deprecated my photos app by filling it with pointless warning messages.

I actually found the Photos app quite comprehensive. It stores all pictures, groups faces, and allows for searching on keywords (such as 'plane'). Is there another free app that does this?

You have to self-host it but Immich is basically a 1-1 clone of Google Photos, including AI facial and object detection. It's incredible.
