While I still use Google Photos, there are times that I don't want pictures I take with my phone to be synced to the cloud. Since Google Photos does not allow such functionality, I installed a second camera app. That app allows me to choose where the picture are saved, so I save them to a folder that doesn't get backed up by Google Photos.
It's annoying to have to do this, but at least I can finally choose what gets synced and what doesn't.
- vorpalhex 4y agoI specifically use "Secure Cam" from GrapheneOS (mine came from Google Play) for this, as it is close to the stock pixel camera and doesn't suffer the lag some other camera apps have. -- edit I originally called the app "private cam" and said it was from fdroid, apologies! Forgot I had aliased it.
- tyingq 4y agoSounded good, but searching F-droid for "private cam" or "privatecam", etc, yields no result.
- vorpalhex 4y agoMy bad! Original comment is corrected. Here's a link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.grapheneos.camera.play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.grapheneos...
- tyingq 4y agoAppreciate it...saves trying to find a camera app that's close to the packaged one. There's a lot of garbage apps to sort through!
