One of the most interesting features that Google Photos offers us is that we can share our photos with other users, or even have a shared album where we can all upload our images. But sometimes over time having photos shared with someone stops being a good idea. In that case, you should learn how to stop sharing photos on Google Photos so that others can't see them.
One of the ways in which we can share a photo with someone is to send it directly to them through WhatsApp or any other tool.In that case, we're sorry to tell you that there's no going back If the photo has found its way into someone else's hands, there's no way to make it available again on your own for you. Therefore, we recommend that you think twice before sending an image to someone else.
But it's also possible that what you would have done is passed the other person a link to the album the photo is in. Or it is even possible that you had the album in shared, so that both you and the other person could upload photos to it.
In that case it's much easier, since there are numerous options about privacy in the albums you have in Google Photos. You just have to remove all forms of sharing as we are going to explain below and the other person will no longer be able to easily access your images.
How to stop sharing an album in Google Photos
If you need to learn how to stop sharing an album in Google Photos there are two things you can do. The first thing is to disable the option to share via link. To do this you must press the icon with three points, enter options and deactivate the Share via link option.
If what you want is that a specific person cannot access it, you can remove it from the album that you have shared. To do this you must follow these steps:
- Enter the Google Photos app
- Open the album you want to stop sharing with the other person
- Click on the three vertical dots at the top
- Enter options
- Scroll to the person you want to stop sharing the link with
- Click the button with three dots
- Select Remove person
Remember that if you sent them a link to add that person to the album, if you want to stop sharing it permanently you must also deactivate the option to share via link Otherwise, even if you have removed the person manually, they can rejoin without major complications simply by entering the link again. To increase privacy you need to do both.
How to manage Google Photos permissions
If you want to have more control over who can see your photos and who can't, it's important that you learn how to manage Google Photos permissions.
Most of the options we can find to manage permissions we must carry them out from each album.By pressing the button with three vertical dots, we will access the configuration menu in which we can easily manage the permissions. As we have explained before, we will be able to add and remove people very easily, as well as decide if it is possible to enter said album through a link or not. But there are also interesting options in the Share button, which you will find at the bottom. There you can activate or deactivate the Collaborate option so that others can upload their photos or even leave the album if you wish.
Only by having good control of permissions and privacy can you ensure that your photos can only be seen by those people who allow you to interested that they can do it.
