Disabling Instant Upload in Google+ App For Android is actually Easy. All it takes is three clicks from the main Google+ screen. At the main screen, hit the menu button on the Android.
Hit the settings option and it will open up the settings menu. From there, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen.
Where it says Instant Upload, you will see a check mark. By default Instant Upload is turned on, so to turn it off, uncheck that option.
That's it!
You can also turn it off from inside the Instant Upload settings menu. If the option is checked in the Google+ settings menu, when you go into the Instant Upload settings menu, it will be checked there as well. Both options are exactly the same - unchecking the option from the Google+ settings menu will uncheck the option in the Instant Upload menu. However, checking it in the Instant Upload menu and then backing up to the Google+ will show that it is checked. You'll have to restart the app for the option to refresh. Confused? Don't worry. As long as you just unchecked or check it one either menu, it will be that setting. If you are really worried, restart the Google+ app and go back into the settings to see what setting it is currently on.
In the Instant Upload setting menu, the options from top to bottom are as follows:
Instant Upload
Check this to enable Instant Upload / Uncheck to disable
Upload status
Hitting this will not do anything. It is just telling you the status of the upload at the bottom of the section. In the picture about the status is Paused: waiting for WiFi. So it's waiting for my phone to be connected to WiFi before it starts uploading the videos because I have the app set to upload images via mobile network.
Upload existing photos
When you install the Google+ Android app and Instant Upload is enabled, it will only upload any thing new from that point on. Nothing that is on your phones memory or SD Card will be uploaded. This option will upload anything you have on your phone before you installed the app. If you have alot of photos and videos, I would advise against using this option unless you are connected to WiFi and your phone is charging.
Mobile uploads
Hitting this option will bring up another menu (see below):
Here you get to choose what and how you want things to be uploaded. If you have a limited data plan I would suggest choosing the last option. The first option:
Only photos via mobile networks:
Photos: YES / Videos: NO / Mobile Network (3g/edge/H+): YES / WiFi: NO
This means that any new photos you take will be uploaded using your mobile data. Any videos you've taken will be on hold until you connect to Wifi.
Photos & videos via mobile networks:
Photos: YES / Videos: YES / Mobile Network (3g/edge/H+): YES / WiFi: NO
If you have an unlimited data plan, then you will have no problem using this. It will send any new photos and videos you take to the private folder on Google+ via your mobile network. If you take a lot of photos and a lot of video, I would think twice about using this option. Uploading anything will use a considerable large about of juice from your battery. If you have a spare battery with you, or a car charger, then by all means.
Photos & videos via WiFi only:
Photos: YES / Videos: YES / Mobile Network (3g/edge/H+): NO / WiFi: YES
For the data conscious who have a limited data plan. Any new photos and videos will not be uploaded using your data plan. Instead, it will be queued, and the app will wait until your phone is connected to a WiFi network. There is no option to upload ONLY photos via WiFi, it's all or nothing.
Roaming uploads
With this option checked, the app will wait until your phone is roaming until it will start uploading the content in queue.
Battery uploads
If you are worried about your phone's battery life, check this option, and the app will wait until your phone is plugged in and charging before it uploads anything.
That's it. That's how you disable/enable Instant Upload on the Google+ Android app
