    Can't believe this is on by default. My gf FREAKED when she saw what I'd unknowingly uploaded. Yeah, it wasn't public, but holy hell -- what a disaster waiting to happen.

    I just noticed this behavior too. I was like WTF! And quite angry actually. How stupid of Google and how bold and brazen of them to think they can never be hacked or have bugs in their software that would inadvertently expose some privacy to the public. Not to mention Google plus will be going the way of the Wave too. Idiots!

    absolutely, anonymous. How staggeringly, monumentally moronic was the decision to leave this on by default. Sense of humor on the part of a developper be hanged, it's ridiculous and arrogant and will make enemies for a brand new social network that hasn't made many friends yet. It's a them hang upside by their privates-sized mistake IMO

    Everyone should know that Google / Facebook / Microsoft / Apple / Yahoo and most other mega successful corps are extensions / Creations of the ruling Elite who enjoy spying on anyone who breaths. Knowledge is a way of control. Spend 10 minutes with Alex Jones or David Icke, etc.

    Funny thing, I realized the same. And I too discovered the option in Google+ settings. After having unticked it, i figured the problem was solved. Lo and behold, a few pictures later the Google+ application informs me that my latest pictures have been automatically update. I looked at the option to see if it had some how been re-enabled -but no, it was still unchecked.

      That's weird. Try logging out of your G+ app and then relogging back in. It will go thru all the questions again and ask you about instant upload again. Try turning it off that way.

    I think we all know why we want to turn that feature off ;)

    Hilarious!! but that's exactly right! Same situation happened to me as mentioned above when pics were instantly uploaded and it created quite a panic. I found the option fairly fast to uncheck the instant upload, phew;)

    I have been financially devasted by these instant uploads! I got whammied with an extra $300 excessive data charge on top of my normal bill? I simply cannot afford it and I still cannot find a way to disable it after trying to fruitlessly for a week, Grrrrrrrrrr! Now I have to discontinie Google + if I cannot find amway by TODAY! I need google + to connect professionally -otherwise I would have done it sooner......
