How do I use undo device backups in Google Photos on my Android device?

The Google Photos app for Android is getting a new feature that gives you more control over your photo and video backups. The new “Undo Device Backup” feature, which was previously introduced for Google Photos on iOS, is now coming to Android.

With the “Undo Device Backup” feature, users can delete photos and videos stored on Google’s servers without affecting the copies on their devices. All content removed with this option will still be available on, for example, a smartphone. However, when a cloud backup is deleted, that device will automatically be disabled in Google Photos.
