How to get rid of Google Photos' out-of-sync changes prompt on Android 11 Android 11 introduced a new file accessing API, Scoped Storage. It essentially doesn't allow apps to access all files on your phone anymore, which is great for security. However, Scoped Storage also comes with some unwanted consequences. Non-Pixel phones running Android 11 have to ask users to confirm that they want to delete or restore images in Google Photos since the app isn't allowed to delete and restore files without explicit user consent anymore. Luckily, there's a fix for some phones. The problem If you use Google Photos on Android 11, you may have already run into the new "Allow Photos to move this photo to trash" prompt when you want to delete something. That's because apps targeting the latest Android version need an explicit user confirmation before they're allowed to move, edit, or delete files. While that new prompt isn't too big of a deal, the problem becomes more severe when you routinely edit and delete photos somewhere else, like on a tablet or the Google Photos web interface. Google Photos will then pester you with a "Review out-of-sync changes" toast on your Android 11 phone, asking you to confirm the changes you've made before they appear on your phone.
