If you share a photo with a specific person on Google Photos, you essentially make that photo public [bug]

Robert Wiblin's article discusses the issue of semi-public photos on Google Photos that users may be unaware of. He points out that the default privacy settings of the app can make photos semi-public, meaning they could be shared with others even if users don’t intend to do so. In this context, Wiblin analyzes how different settings affect the visibility of photos and how it can impact user privacy. He also emphasizes the need for regular privacy setting checks to ensure that users are fully aware of what happens to their data. The article concludes with a call for Google to improve the way it informs users about their privacy settings to minimize the risk of unintended data sharing. In light of this, it’s important for every Google Photos user to closely examine their settings and adjust them according to their needs to regain control over their photos.
