I get this now if my phone is on and I'm watching it but a third party app doing this made me nervous as my OH is paranoid about the info we send over telecom systems! Shame he's crap at remembering passwords and I have to remind him!:rotfl::rotfl:

Might be an idea, especially as the Gallery app automatically syncs with Google unless you tell it not to (at least it does in KitKat).I should curtail the taking of intimate selfies then;)Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car

Also, if you have a gmail account linked to the device and also a tick next to #settings #backup & reset #backup my data then Google is storing/backing up all sorts of things for you including all your wifi passwords.
Great if you switch devices as everything pretty much just syncs up on the new handset/tablet and connects to your home wifi automatically (which is a bit strange the first time it happens as you think - "how did it do that?") but a troublesome setting for the people who don't like the 'big brother' idea.0
