Google Photos on Android now has a handy new option called “Undo device backup,” making it easier to manage your pictures and videos. This feature, which first appeared on iOS, is now part of Google Photos version 7.18 for Android. Here’s how it works:

• Open the Google Photos app on your Android phone or tablet.
• Tap your profile picture or initial at the top, then go to “Photos settings” and select “Backup.”
• Scroll down and choose “Undo backup for this device.”
• Check the box that says you understand your photos and videos will be removed from Google Photos.
• Hit “Delete Google Photos backup.”

This removes all your device’s photos and videos from Google’s cloud, including shared albums, search results, and memories, but they’ll stay safe on your device. After this, the backup feature turns off—perfect if you don’t want everything uploaded anymore.

Meanwhile, Google Chrome rolled out a new rule today to stop sneaky browser extensions, like PayPal’s Honey, from messing with affiliate codes. These codes help websites earn money when you shop, but some extensions were quietly adding their codes without helping you. Google’s update says extensions can only use affiliate links or codes if they benefit you—like offering a discount—and only when you take an action, like clicking something.

This targets Honey, which got caught last year sneaking its own affiliate codes into your shopping, even if you didn’t use its coupons. For example, just closing its pop-up could trigger it to replace other codes, stopping original sites from getting credit. Google now bans this and requires extensions to be upfront about using affiliate programs in their Chrome Web Store listings. Honey, with over 17 million users today (down from 18 million), lost users after its tricks were revealed in a YouTube video. Chrome’s new rules aim to keep things fair and clear for everyone.

The Pixel 9a is set to hit the market later this month, and as the big day gets closer, more details are popping up. A fresh leak just dropped, giving us a glimpse of the phone’s camera doing its thing at a lively Lucha Libre wrestling match.

Google’s Pixel 9 family is expanding to five models. Alongside the two 9 Pro slab-style phones, the basic Pixel 9, and the foldable Pixel 9 Pro Fold, a new budget-friendly option is joining the crew. Priced under $500, this phone is said to pack a 5,100 mAh battery, an in-screen fingerprint scanner, and the Tensor G4 chip.

We’ve seen a handful of leaks over the past month, and this latest one locks in the Pixel 9a’s look. Plus, a short YouTube video gives us a front-row seat to the camera in action during a wild wrestling match. The phone’s back appears first, showing off a small camera bump. The design isn’t flashy, but it has that familiar Pixel vibe we know from Google.

The front features a 6.3-inch screen with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, which shines in the leaked video alongside some camera clips. These clips are in video mode, so they might differ a bit from regular photos. The setup includes a 48MP main camera and a 13MP ultrawide lens. The video shows off different zoom levels, and while it’s unclear if every frame comes from the phone, the results look solid.

Even with YouTube’s compression, the footage holds up nicely. We suggest watching the full video while it’s still online. There’s also a selfie part where the front camera records, delivering colors that match the Pixel style—vibrant yet balanced, with good quality overall. We’re excited to see how the Pixel 9a performs when it lands, likely on March 26. For now, this sneak peek gives us a fun taste of what’s coming, especially those camera skills in the wrestling ring!

Say hello to the Google Pixel 10 Pro! This year, it’s almost a twin to last year’s Pixel 9 Pro, even in size. The Pixel 10 Pro measures 152.8 x 72 x 8.6mm, just a tiny bit thicker than the 8.5mm Pixel 9 Pro. It also keeps the same 6.3-inch screen.

If you saw our Pixel 10 leak yesterday, you’ll notice that these sizes match up. Like the Pixel 9 lineup, the Pixel 10 series will have a regular and a Pro version with identical dimensions. The best part? Cases will work for both phones!

Leaked images show the Pixel 10 Pro rocking three cameras, including a fancy periscope telephoto lens. It has a power button above the volume buttons and shiny sides. Some companies think glossy edges look classy, but they get grimy fast if you skip a case.

Pixel 10 Pro Gets a New TSMC-Made Tensor Chip

The Pixel 10 series will debut the Tensor G5 chip, built by TSMC instead of Samsung. Google’s older chips, made by Samsung, had issues like overheating, slow speeds, and weak modems. The Tensor G4 in the Pixel 9 fixed most of that, and now the G5 promises even better performance. Still, Google’s focusing more on AI smarts than raw power since it’s custom-made for Pixels.

Meet the Pixel 10 Pro XL with a Big 6.8-Inch Screen

The Pixel 10 Pro XL is also sticking close to its predecessor. Its size is about 162.7 x 76.6 x 8.5mm—super close to the Pixel 9 Pro XL, with just a 0.1mm height difference. Google’s keeping options alive with a smaller flagship and this larger one. I love smaller phones, but if you want a big, stunning display, this is for you!

Pixel 10 Launching in August with Android 16

Google shook things up last year, launching the Pixel 9 in August—two months early—with Android 14. Android 15 came later in October. This time, the Pixel 10 series is expected to drop in August again, but with Android 16, set to hit AOSP on June 3. The Pixel 9a might even arrive this month! We’re still waiting on Pixel 10 Pro Fold details, but it’ll likely join the August party too.
