Disclaimer: I’m still on Android 4.4.2 KitKat. Apparently, there are some changes on 4.4.3.

Google+ Photos is awesome in almost everything. Auto-backup, edition, Auto-Awesome, and an incredible search engine. But the way it organizes the photos is, at best, an absolute mess.

I was doing some tests with it, and I discover this absurd behavior. When you’re on the Android app (I don’t know about iOS), which is kind of an “alternative” to the Gallery app, the first thing you see is all the pictures uploaded to Google+ Photos.

But let’s say that you want to see the pictures on your local folders (Camera, WhatsApp Pictures, etc). You have to open the navigation drawer (sidebar-menu), and find the option at the end, just before the trash. Because it’s not a menu you’d want to access often, I guess.

Now, you want to delete a picture (or a video). Well, it should be all on G+ Photos, if you activated the “auto-backup” feature, so no problemo. Well, careful. Because you have two trash icons, and one will delete the picture from your phone (keeping it on Google+ Photos), while the other one will delete it from everywhere, sending it to the trash. And there’s no way to know what’s gonna happen before you try (or before you read this).
