Today we will talk about the next most complex task of moving away from Google Photos for Good, even if you are using an Android Phone.īefore we get into moving your photos away from Google, let us understand a few things first. I have already written about how you can get rid of Gmail. I’m committed and I will write an article one day to maximize your privacy protection on an Android Phone.īreaking up with Google products is not an easy task. I understand that not everyone, especially outside of the US, can afford to buy an iPhone. My humble request will be to avoid using Android Phone if you can.

There is no doubt that Google products (pick and choose any) have the best user experience in the market. Avoiding Google and any of its products is also next to impossible if you are a user of an Android phone. Hotmail (now known as Microsoft Outlook) was dominating the email market. They very well knew how to manipulate us to leave everything else but join Gmail. The vast majority of marketing strategies are psychological tricks to manipulate human behavior.īefore introducing Gmail, Google was already the most popular search engine. It still does gather a lot (you will see this soon in this process).ĭo you remember when Gmail was first introduced, it was only invitation-based? That was definitely a marketing strategy. It does not matter if we decide to share our data with Google or not. Google is also the culprit for collecting the most information from our own data. It requires conscious effort to change the (wrong) habits we have built over time. Google is the biggest culprit for spoiling our habits. It requires significant effort to change our behavior.

If you want to move away from Google Photos, then you will agree more. Some of us are not so much bothered. Online privacy is subjective and has a different meaning for different people. In today’s connected world, controlling the privacy of our own data is not an easy task.

Some of us are aware of the darkest side of data collection. We all (almost all) are concerned about the privacy of our online data.
