Deleting the Google Photos app from your device will not delete any of your photos. The Google Photos app is primarily used as a gallery app to view and organize your photos, but it also has a backup and sync feature that allows you to automatically back up your photos to your Google account.
If you have enabled the backup and sync setting in the Google Photos app, it means that your photos are being uploaded to the cloud and stored in your Google account. In this case, uninstalling the app will not delete your photos, as they are already saved securely in the cloud.
However, if you have not enabled the backup and sync setting in the Google Photos app, then uninstalling the app will have no effect on your photos. The photos will remain on your device’s internal storage or SD card, depending on where you have saved them.
It’s important to note that uninstalling the Google Photos app will only remove the app itself from your device. It will not delete any photos from your phone’s storage. So, even if you uninstall the app, you can still access your photos through other gallery apps or file managers on your device.
If you want to ensure that your photos are safely backed up and accessible even if you uninstall the Google Photos app, you can enable the backup and sync setting before uninstalling. This way, your photos will be stored in your Google account and can be accessed from any device with your Google credentials.
Deleting the Google Photos app will not delete your photos unless you have enabled the backup and sync feature and specifically chosen to delete the backed-up photos. If you haven’t enabled the backup and sync setting, your photos will remain untouched on your device even after uninstalling the app.
