Desynching photos temporarily

[Rgarner]

My friend has his photos synced to google. He wants to know how to shut that off temporarily. How can he take a few photos without having them show up on Google and then put it back the other way?

Very easy: open Google's Photos app, select its menu (3 bars, top left of screen), choose Settings | Back up & Sync, and flip the switch next to 'Back up & Sync' off. When ready to turn it back on, flip the switch on.
