Is there anyway to remove all picture related to Google + out of my Gallery app? I use Instant Upload and would like to retain that feature.
I am referring to 'Profile Photos' and 'Scrapbook Photos.'
if i'm correct, go into settings, accounts, your gmail account settings, and uncheck Google Photos.

Wrong this will only stop newer pictures from syncing. If you have instant upload on they will show on your gallery.

When selecting pics from my gallery (singular&multiple) for uploading to Picasa, I am prompted for a google account login or creation.
When I attempt to log in, it says that I already have a linked google account...which I do in "accounts and sync".
When accessing this settings menu, neither my main "add account" or my current google account sync submenu offers picasa as an option.
I have checked my youtube app and its logged in.
I am able to upload to picasa using both "picasa tool" app and "pixelpipe" app.
I have checked my google and picasa accounts on a pc browser and I did not see anything that would be causing problems.
I am running out of possible solutions, can someone Please Help>?>
Ok, so I'm sick o my picasa albums showing up in my gallery. And under accounts and sync I turned of the picasa syncing as well but they are still there.
Is there a way to remove them? I also tried to delete the google account off my phone then re add it and quickly uncheck the picasa web album sync but I can't be fast enough haha.
I know there's a solution! Help me!
Thanks!
Go into Accounts & Settings -> Your Gmail -> Uncheck Picasa Sync [you already did this].
Go into apps and find gallery. Clear cache and data.
Reopen gallery, you're good to go.
This should work:
- Settings / Accounts & sync / your google account / uncheck Sync Google Photos
Then:
- Settings / Apps / All / Gallery / Clear data, then Force Stop
just tried both of those things didn't work

Same for me...
can anyone offer some help here?
Yep,
Go to Apps and click on Google+
Click on uninstall updates.
Go to Accounts and Sync and check if Sync Google Photos is ticked or even present. Make sure it isn't.
(If you're using google+ continue reading)
Go to the Google+ app
Log in but make sure you do not choose Instant Upload
After logging into the app, go to setting and double check if the Instant Upload setting aren't ticked. Then go the Account and Sync and check there as well if Sync Google Photos isn't ticked.
Go to Gallery to confirm the Picasa albums are gone.
So, I have a peculiar issue with my S3. When I add a google account, it asks me what all I want to sync to my phone (calendar, gmail, picasa albums etc.) and I have unchecked the picasa and google photos box there. Still, when I open the gallery, I see all my picasa albums there. Is there a way some different way to stop the phone from syncing the picasa albums? This is happening with my 3 different google accounts. I only want the gallery to have local pictures and not the ones associated with my gmail account. Is there a way to do this? Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help.
I too hate this... and there is no way to stop default gallery app from syncing... even with sync disabled in settings.
1. Get an app like TiBu that can freeze apps.
2. Freeze Gallery app and unfreeze it only when you need to change lock screen image.
3. Install some app like QuickPic to replace gallery.
There is a process call Picasa Uploader. Try freezing it and see if that helps. Am not sure on this though.
Even after not choosing to sync photos from your google account, somehow it still shows in your gallery.
Here's the fix for this.
Setup your Google account with photos not checked to sync (as u know even after this, photos still shows in gallery).
Then go to "Application Manager", "All", in "Gallery", choose "Clear data".
This will clean the thumbnails, not your actual photos. If you chose to uncheck photo sync from Google, it will not appear again. Must be a bug with the OS synching with google. Hope this helps.

additionally, (depending on your rom) you can go into your gallery, hit menu and select what photos/albums you want showing up there. you should be able to select just the albums on the device.

make sure sync for the picasa albums is still off, then go into Settings > Application manager. select the All tab, find Gallery and hit the clear data button. next time you open the Gallery, it will take a moment to rebuild it but the picasa albums should finally be gone.

That worked like a charm. Thanks!
I actually don't mind this but it is annoying that it scans every folder for pictures. I end up seeing random album art in mine. Is there way to stop that?

throw a .nomedia file in the folders you don't want showing up in your gallery.
I have the stock rom and for some reason my photos are being synced from my old phone and some from fb. I do have some photos that got sync that I do not want on there if you know what I mean but I can't remove them and for some reason there synced photos. Can't figure out how to remove them.

Go to System Settings > Accounts, then choose your google account and uncheck "google photos" or "web albums". Then go System Settings> Apps go to ALL tab, tap on Gallery then force stop, clear data and last clear cache (don't worry about your photos being deleted), then open the gallery app and hopefully your problem is solved. I had this problem with picasa web albums syncing photos and also I could not delete them
Hope it helps!

Hey, so I've got this problem where I have added my work exchange account so I can view my world calendar and emails, but it's also showing the contacts I the phone app, I have checked and contacts are set not to sync. If I remove the exchange account, then the contacts go, then add the exchange account with contacts sync off they still come back into the native phone apps contacts, anyone know if this is a bug or if I'm missing a setting?
Go into contacts app, settings, contacts to display, customize, and uncheck your exchange account.

I don't have that option, I've looked for it several times today, each time baffled by it not being there... I'm using a pixel xl.... Are you?
I went into every option I could find and couldn't find it
I have it on my Verizon Pixel XL... Contact app (not the contact view inside of the phone app), settings, contacts to display, customize.

Don't worry found it now... I was looking in the phone app rather than the contacts app. Thankz
I'm also having the same problems. Even when unchecked in settings the contacts display. Using both native mail app and external app. Using pixel 5"
I like the outlook on my phone. The problem is I can see the contacts but I can't edit them. And when I do, it has to be from my office 365 account. I created my outlook account, unchecked the contacts sync and calendar and txt, then let it check mail. I don't think this made a difference but,
I force close the outlook app, went to application manager and cleared the data from the contacts, and contacts storage. Created a Gmail sync and only used contacts and calendar and disabled the email. So now when I change a contact. It actually saves. I also did what the previous post suggested and changed the view in the contacts app after I did all that.
