If you do not want Photobucket running in the background, disable Auto Upload/Auto Start, and use the manual upload method to upload your media.

  1. Log into your Photobucket account.
  2. Press Settings, then press Upload Options....
  3. Press Auto Upload/Auto Start to enable/disable automatic uploads and auto-start for ALL media taken on the phone, and enable/disable auto-start for ALL media taken on the phone, even when the app is closed.
