Yeah, I agree. Google Photos is super confusing.

Why would anybody ever want their pictures to disappear from their phone if they delete them on the web? It doesn't make any sense.

It makes perfect sense to me. I rely on that feature. My monitor is big and it's much easier to use the big screen to sort vacation photos and delete the 90% which are garbage and not worth preserving. When I delete the garbage ones, of course I want to delete them everywhere. (And if I accidentally deleted the wrong photo, I can undelete within 30 days.)

  • What doesn't make sense is that it is not explicit, and it is not easily and clearly configurable!
