photos appearing from the past

[whitsey77]

New to android. Got the new sony last week but have just noticed that my photos have started adding photos from many years ago. Photos i didnt know i even still had but they've judt started appearing!

- Where are they coming from
- Why are they on my new phone
- How do i get rid of them

Welcome to Android Central! They might be in your Google+ Photo albums in the cloud (formerly known as Picasa), and are being synced to your Gallery or Photos app. Go to plus.google.com/photos on your computer browser and see if those photos are there.

Ok, there are photos there.
So how do I stop them syncing to my phone?
That must be chewing through some bandwidth!

I don't think it uses up much bandwidth, because it's only syncing thumbnails, not the full size photos.

If you really want to, go to Settings/Accounts-Google/(your Google account) and uncheck Google+ Photos, Gallery, or Picasa.
