Google Photos is reportedly about to introduce a feature that users have long asked for, namely the ability to manually schedule photo backups. This feature was found in the latest version of the Google Photos app and is said to allow users to specify a specific time or time range for backups, such as daily, weekly, and monthly.
This information was revealed from the update of Google Photos version 7.58.0.853810532 which was analyzed by Android Authority. In this version, Google is also known to be overhauling the backup settings page by adopting Material 3 Expressive UI, Google's latest interface design that emphasizes bright colors and more assertive visual elements.
In this new look, the backup settings page is arranged more neatly with a container system. Several important options such as Backup Mode, Backup Quality, and Back Up Device Folders are now grouped in a separate section with new titles, including How to back up, What to back up, and Backup tools. This change is intended to make it easier for users to manage photo storage settings in the cloud.
The Backup schedule feature is the main highlight because previously Google Photos only relied on automatic backups without a scheduling option. With this new feature, users can choose when photos will be uploaded to the cloud, either at a certain time or within a specified time period. This mechanism is expected to be similar to the backup scheduling feature that is already available on the Android system.
However, technical details regarding how this feature works are still limited. Google has also not confirmed when the Backup schedule feature will be officially released to the public. Like other Google updates, it is possible that this feature will be launched gradually or still through internal testing stages.
If true, this feature has the potential to provide greater control for users, especially for those who want to save internet quota or ensure that the backup process only runs at certain times.
