This Google Photos popup

It appears every few times I open the app and the usual android back button doesn’t make it go away, and there is no cancel button. What you have to do is toggle the toggle, then the button will change to “do not back up” and then you can press it. It annoys me how easy this makes it to accidentally turn on backup.

Can you tap outside the popup to make it go away? Or maybe swipe it down? Agree that Back should be enough, how annoying!

No, you cannot.

What if you close the app through drawer, and then relaunch it?

There are open source alternatives to Google photos, a good example which uses material 3 (you) is fossify photos

Yeah I use aves, it is much nicer then Google photos, but photos has a locked folder so I use it occasionally

I’ve accidentally turned on backup this way and lost a ton of storage. Definitely an obnoxious way to push your product.
