Huawei P20- Pro - Camera, Google Photos and Gallery.

[Android Central Question]

Took picture with camera and the picture appeared both in Google Photos and Gallery. If I delete the picture on Google, then the picture also disappeared from Gallery. Possible to delete the picture in Google but retained in Gallery?

Welcome to Android Central! So do you want to delete the photo from your Google Photos cloud backup? Google Photos just acts as another gallery app that displays whatever you have saved on the phone. It's not an additional storage location, so your photos aren't taking up double the space.

yea you can following are the step that you need to follow XD

Step 1: Open the file manager app on your device and create a new folder on the internal storage. Let’s name it GP Test. You can name it anything.
Step 2: Then using file manager again, navigate to Internal Storage > DCIM > Camera. This folder holds the pictures capture using the phone’s camera.
Step 3: Here select all photos that you want to delete from Google Photos and tap on Move.
Step 4: Navigate to the new folder (GP Test) that you created above and paste the files there.Once you do so, the files will be automatically deleted from the camera folder of the Google Photos app on your phone.
You can access those files from the newly created folder (GP Test) using Google Photos or any other gallery app.
Make sure back up & sync isn’t enabled for the new local folder. To confirm, go to the Albums section of the Google Photos app and find the folder. A cloud icon with a line over it indicates that the folder isn’t synced.
Step 5: If the deleted photos still appear on the web version, you need to manually delete them from the web. To do so, launch the Google Photos website and delete the photos. Deleting them will not affect the pictures in the newly created folder (GP Test) on your phone.
