Google To Stop Storage Of Photo On Instagram And Whatsapp.

Google will no longer automatically back up images and videos from social media platforms in its photo app.

Previously, the Google Photos app created a folder to store any media received through apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram.

Google said the changes were to save internet resources as “people are sharing more photos and videos” during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The feature used up bandwidth and took up memory on devices.
