It appears every few times I open the app and the usual android back button doesn’t make it go away, and there is no cancel button. What you have to do is toggle the toggle, then the button will change to “do not back up” and then you can press it. It annoys me how easy this makes it to accidentally turn on backup.

    it’s EXTREMELY INFURIATING, my relatives always accidentally enable backup on google photos and the following day have their google account blocked for data overuse, and need to choose between pay for google one, or waste a day deleting the data on google photos making sure that it doesn’t delete the ones on the device

    for me i use aves, but they don’t like it, they aren’t used to it…

      and then every month or so, again “why u no enable cloud backup??” I already disagreed to it!

      This and the monthly reminder from whatsapp to give all my data unencrypted to google and LEOs as a “backup” on google drive

      pay for google one

      LOL, that’s the idea all right! I pay $99 year for 2TB of storage, so I’m a happy camper. My Windows libraries, movie storage and such is backed up offsite in addition to local backups.

        Same. My whole family uses it and we still have half left. I got a ton of 4k video in there too. Not sure what all these people got on their phones to use up all the storage.
