Previously, Google just displayed \u201cApps &amp; app data\u201d with a count and storage total.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Your top three apps are shown with how much data is backed up to your Google Account. Tap \u201cShow more\u201d to see everything, with apps at the bottom of the list noting if \u201cNo data backed up.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"anp-pro-inline-figure\" style=\"margin:1.75em auto;text-align:center;max-width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"anp-pro-inline-img\" src=\"https:\/\/innovatenews.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Backup-per-app-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"display:block;margin:0 auto;max-width:100%;width:auto;height:auto;object-fit:contain;object-position:center\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Everything is enabled by default, but you can now tap on the toggles next to each item to disable. Doing so explains that \u201cThis will delete [app] data from your Google Account, and stop backing up [app] data from this device.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">These controls don\u2019t extend to the Device data section above, which has SMS &amp; MMS messages, Call history, and Device settings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">We\u2019re seeing per-app backup controls rolled out to Pixel devices we checked today. This includes the stable Android 16 and 17 releases with version 26.24 of Google Play services. However, it did not appear on our Samsung phones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">In related developments, Google One for Android was finally updated with an edge-to-edge design earlier this month.
