Storage of (camera timer) app photos

[aliaaaa6132]

Photos taken on my camera timer app are automatically saved twice, once in a camera timer folder (which I prefer) and again my camera photos which is annoying. Before it was saved separately & solely in 1 folder . This setting must've changed automatically after an update but how can I change it?

I thought Google Photos saved everything unless you turned it off. That doesn't answer your question though. Photos are in the cloud.

There may be a setting in the app itself, have you checked?

If not, then use your file manager to find the photos that you do NOT want.

Take note of the folder that they are in.
Before you continue, be sure that only these pictures are stored in this folder.

Delete the FOLDER.
Now add a FILE with the exact same name as the folder that you deleted, in the same place.

Android will not allow two items, files or folders, to have the same name if they are in the same location.

Your new file will prevent the app from recreating this folder.
