With the presence of Photos’ cloud-based backups, removing local copies of images is generally pretty inconsequential to your experience.Ĥ.
That’ll remove locally stored copies of all photos and videos that are already backed up to Photos and thus always accessible to you (so long as you have an active data connection).
When your phone gets low on local space, Photos has an easy way to clear up room: Just look for the aptly named “Free up space” option within the Android or iOS app’s main menu. If a one-time download is what you’re after, you can grab your entire Photos library or any specific set of albums in bulk by using Google’s Takeout service.ģ.
