Google Photos is about to change one of its most used safety features by millions of users worldwide. The tech giant has decided to drastically reduce the time files remain in the trash before being permanently deleted.
With this change, photos and videos that users send to the trash will be automatically deleted much sooner than before. This decision represents a significant change in how the service manages the storage and recovery of deleted files.
The trash feature in Google Photos has always allowed users to recover files they had accidentally deleted during a set period. With the new policy, this grace period will be considerably shorter, which may catch many users off guard.
The change may have a particularly significant impact on those who use Google Photos as their main platform for storing photos and videos, as they will have less time to realize they have lost important files and recover them before permanent deletion.
