Terrible

This app automatically synced to my device and automatically uploaded all my pics to the app. When I deleted them off the app, they get deleted from my phone e. I’ve turned off backup and it still auto uploads. No matter what I turn off it still controls the photos on my phone. Amazon photos is way better and easier to use, with better app control
