Google Photos on Android

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where the option to "backup photos while charging only" on Google Photos is on my Galaxy S6. I can't seem to find it. I'm sure it used to be there.

It looks as though a recent update to the 'Photos' app has removed this an option.

 

I can't post a link to the article as I'm a new member, but here's a snippet:

 

It seems like Google has pulled the option to backup photos and videos to the Google Photos app “only while charging” with the new update. A bunch of reddit users have pointed out that the option is no longer available in the Settings menu.

 

What this essentially means is that the Google Photos app will now backup files irrespective of the fact the device is connected to a power source or not.

 

This may be helpful:

 

The only probable workaround, for now, is to either disable the backup process on cellular data or to not update to the latest version of the app, i.e. Google Photos 2.1.7 on Android.
