GOOGLE PHOTOS has recently become its own app, distinct from Google+. While it offers the ability to share and back up pictures through the cloud, there is one small issue for Android users: Even once you uninstall the app, it may be syncing your photos. This occurs if you ever turned on photo syncing while Google Photos was installed. If after trying it out you decided to uninstall the app, it will keep automatically syncing (again, for Android phones). That means any new photo taken will be backed up via Google Cloud, and appear on your Google+ photos.
