draft - topic / idea - the ability to remove a google account from the google photos app without removing the google account from your device
and/or maybe better yet? the ability to goto android settings and choose a setting that would be something like "login to google apps and services one by one" or something like that
i'm not saying I don't like google services. I do. I actually appreciate the way it works and things like google chat will just load up without having to login which is a good thing, makes it very approachable.
but maybe, think about this. some people may want to use multiple user profiles to segregate data for legitimate reasons. think - a chat/dating user profile that's set up so that way the data inside of that profile including photos and notifications from the chat/dating apps aren't mixed in with the "regular" profile. what i'm also getting at is that, for something like google chat, I *could* setup a "space" and use *that* as the chat thing for me and a family member. i had used google chat with a family member for almost a year. and then, a few months ago, i realized that microsoft teams also offers "forever editing" and so, i figured, hey, lets just use microsoft teams, and so i have started using microsoft teams chat as my sort of google chat replacement. it fixes the issue whereby, i can have it signed in to *both* my "regular profile", and my "chat/dating" user profile, and, I don't have to worry about like, cross account data leakage (which maybe I "don't" have to worry about anymore since the devices don't have microsd cards, but actually, just the fact that there's storage on there, and sometimes google photos will sync images, (which is fine, it's supposed to do that, but it'd be nice if there was a function to "remove this google account from google photos only without removing it from the device" or something like that.
