So any photo you add to it or take a backup of is private unless you share it manually. Your photos are not visible through your Google profile or anything like that. That is, by default, anything shown in the Google Photos apps on Android or iOS (iPhone/iPad) is visible to you only. Whether the backup feature is turned on or not, the photos can be accessed by you only. That’s because snaps in Google Photos library are continuously syncing. Meaning, even if the Back up & sync setting is turned off on your device, any photos you take a backup in Google Photos Library will reflect automatically on all the connected devices. That is, while you can control the backup functionality for each device individually, there is no control on the sync feature. Backup and sync are two different things for Google Photos.
