Google Photo App Sync even after Uninstalling.


                   What will be your reaction if you uninstall an application and it is still running on your device ? What if the uninstalled application sync your data ? Recently it has been found that Google Photo App sync the data even after uninstalling.

                    Android has a major share in mobile operating system and it has the application known as Google Photo for syncing their photos in their account.

                    The main purpose of the application is similar to that of the built in sync feature available in the Apple Iphone that helps the user to sync their photos in Icloud. 

                     The weird thing about the Google Photo application is that the application continues to sync the photos even after the application has been uninstalled by the user.

                      Recently a Journal Editor found that the photos he has taken even after the installing of the application are synced to his account.

                       When he contacted Google they said "The backup was as intended" and that the users will have to turn off the feature in the phone's Google Play Services Settings. It is because the Google Photos settings are interconnected with the Phone's Google Play Services.

                        Inorder to fix this issue do the following

                        If you are an Android user and dont want to sync personal photos automatically you need to disable the sync option from either Google Photos app or from your phone's Google Setting.

                        The video demonstration can be found here.

P.S : The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
