Google Photos removes option to have backups performed only when charging Comments

"As always, you are also able to choose whether to back up photos and videos while connected to cellular data - if you turn both of those toggles to Off, then backups will only happen over Wi-Fi," isn't there a Wi-Fi option to only upload on non-cellular networks?

Alma, 23 Jun 2017Can you stop google photos altogether. I would like to save all my photos to a hard drive and... moreTrue. This new development gives another reason to avoid automatic cloud syncing and go for manual control over your files.

I don't get why they are doing away with such a useful feature. Makes no sense at all.

They also removed the overlay icon in the Photos app which showed which photos are backed up in the cloud. Hard to understand why is Google removing useful features.

YES absolutely! Hopefully a lot of users will complain, me first. To hopefully they (Google) will bring the lost feature back.

I too want this feature back as when im often places where battery gets eaten by phone searching for signel. I dont need a extra drain on battery life. A feature to plan back up time would help be prepared. Not sure complaining here is answer though. Need to aim it at Google.

Why remove something like that? this feature should also be in google play store, otherwise you need to manually start downloading updates when you are going to charge, now photos sync too, seems google is going backwards here.

I want the "backup only when charging" feature back. Trying to get the most out of my battery everyday is challenging enough, and only gets more difficult by removing this option. Please restore this feature, Google.

Wow, stupid move, Google. Who's the moron who made this decision? Definitely won't be updating the app.
