Google Photos continues to evolve, step by step, with small additions that complete a fairly complete service (and mobile application). Now you've said goodbye to the Moments tab and are getting ready to recognize AI-generated images. However, before that it will be released an opposite functionality to the one it already has.
This is the ability to delete photos from the cloud, but not all of them, but those that are on your device. Maybe you've already downloaded your entire camera gallery and regretted it: going one by one is a thing of the past with newcomers to Google Photos. With a painful adoption, everything is said.

Losing photos from the cloud is not pleasant, but it can happen while our backup is transferred to Google Photos. To improve organization and help everyone who downloaded memories and regretted it at the time, Google is going to add a new function that will allow you delete the copy without losing files on your device.
According to Android Police, the feature is called “Cancel save” (cancel copy, if we translate it literally) and as its name suggests, it goes back in the process of uploading our gallery to Google Photos. The process, similar to that already available in the application, and which does the opposite: delete photos and videos from the mobile's internal memory when they are already in the cloud.
The curious thing, with a slap on the wrist from Google, is that the new function is available only for iOS at the moment: iPhones can benefit from it now, on Android you will have to wait a little longer. The media explains to us how to use it from the application, present in the Google Photos settings, particularly in the “Backup” section.

This will delete all photos on your device from Google Photos, but not from the phone itself. Once applied, the function will be deactivated automatically on this device when the backups have been deleted. So if auto-save is enabled, any new photos you take will be uploaded to the cloud. And start again: you must use the new functionality.
In addition to making it easier to exit this service, by deleting photos downloaded by mistake, it also helps us not to lose our memories: until now, by deleting an image from the application we ran the risk. risks also deleting it from the internal memory of the mobile.
