- Google Photos is rolling out a new “Undo device backup” feature to help with cloud storage management.
- It will delete all media backed up from a specific device without deleting it from the device itself.
- Currently, the feature is only available for iOS users, with Android support coming soon.
Google Photos is rolling out a new feature called “Undo device backup,” designed to make managing cloud storage and photo backups easier. The Android Authority first reported about this feature back in June. We even managed to grab a screenshot of the feature showing up in our Google Photos app back in October, though it wasn’t functional at the time. But now, the company has officially announced its existence and rollout.
As we predicted, “Undo device backup” offers a streamlined solution for those who want to free up space in their Google cloud storage. It allows users to delete all photos and videos backed up from a specific device without affecting the local copies on that device.
