Google Photo icon keeps popping up from time to time. What's causing this and how do I stop it?

[AC Question]

Android Lollipop, LG phone. Just started happening, I'm assuming an update started doing this. Ran a couple different antivirus and malware programs and nothing found. Google Photo icon pops up, a photo after and goes away. At first I thought maybe it was an indication that my photos were being backed up. I turned backing up off but it still happens. It's very annoying. How do I stop this?

Welcome to the forums. It should only come up when Photos finds a new folder. Have you tried a cache clear for the Photos app?
