Photos downloaded from facebook are appearing in Google Photos Photos I download with the Facebook app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 are synced to Google Photos. I would like only photos I take with my phone's camera or add manually to appear in Google Photos. Is this possible? How?

No folders are selected in the "Choose folders to back up..." dialogue.
there is a simple solution to hide facebook downloaded pictures from google photo or the stock galery or technically speaking hide them from the android media scanner.


locate where the photos are downloaded facebook download to your external storage /DCIM/facebook and the facebook messenger app store it's pictures under /pictures/messenger
use a file manager app like es file explorer navigate to the location of the pictures and create a new file name it .nomedia
it's done the pictures downloaded from facebook will not show in the google photo.
