How To Delete Photos From Gallery But Not Google Photos !
☕ If this video helped you, consider supporting me by buying me a coffee: https://coff.ee/bimalbasnet If you want to delete photos from your phone's gallery but keep them in Google Photos, you need to ensure they are backed up to the cloud first. Google Photos can sometimes make it difficult to distinguish between photos stored on your device and those already backed up, but recent updates have made this process easier.
To begin, open the *Google Photos* app and make sure it is updated to the latest version. Once inside the app, go to the *Library* tab at the bottom and look for the *"On This Device"* section. This section contains all photos that are stored on your phone but may or may not be backed up to Google Photos.
If you want to delete a photo from your gallery while keeping it in Google Photos, first check whether it has been backed up. Open the photo, swipe up or tap on the three-dot menu, and look for the *"Backed Up"* status. If the photo is already backed up, you can safely delete it from your gallery by selecting it and tapping **Delete from Device**. This removes it from your phone's storage but keeps it accessible in Google Photos.
If a photo has not been backed up yet, you can manually upload it by tapping *Back Up Now* before deleting it from your gallery. This ensures it remains stored in your Google Photos cloud even after removal from your device.
