I took a screenshot on my phone and I'm wondering where it went. Do screenshots automatically save to the photos app, or do they go somewhere else? I need to find the screenshot I just took.
If users wish to avoid this automatic upload of screenshots, they need to adopt a different strategy.

One effective method is to manually move the screenshots out of the DCIM folder. For instance, transferring them to the Pictures/screenshots folder can prevent Google Photos from uploading them.

When it comes to Android devices, Google Photos has a specific behavior when it comes to uploading photos.

The app tends to upload all content located under the DCIM folder, labeling it as 'Camera' uploads.

This implies that any screenshots saved in the DCIM/screenshots subdirectory will also be uploaded automatically.
