Long ago i used Picasa quite a bit. Had some nice features like collage and made sharing simple. Then Google updated things and moved to Google Photos. Came up with the idea that anything on my Android was worth saving in the cloud and made deleting very clumsy.

Yesterday I took a couple shots in the kitchen and put the phone in my pocket. It proceeded to take 95 images of the inside of my pocket. This morning Google was thoughtful enough to send an animation of "your Saturday".. 95 blank frames. What won't they think of next?

Nooo... Google didn't reach into my pocket... But they didn't hesitate to share it with the world.

It gets really dramatic toward the end... https://photos.app.goo.gl/8uzhgCoKzuCsM8693

You can decide where Google puts your cell photos. Your choice if you want them shared or not.

Yes. I do think that I have to select to actually share.

Funny! Thanks for the warning -- I haven't opted to have any photos shared to Google, and now I certainly won't!

Personally, anythg I shoot on my Android phone is just for fun- family snapshots and little experiments. I don't store my professional work on Google. I thought the OP's complaint was some kinda copyright issue or unauthorized use of his images.

So...if you accidently "pocket" expose or have shots you don't like, just delete them form your device and from your Google photo account. If you don't like the animations- ignore or delete them.

I like GOOGLE PHOTOS- I mean if should accidentally drop my phone down a storm drain or it self destructs in a horrible battery fire- I can still retrieve my valuable snapshots on another device. I just hope the phone is not in my trouser pocket when it turns into an incendiary device.

Actually, I thought the O.P. was relaying a humorous incident. Gotta be careful what goes to Google pics, obviously!!
