• 15 GB OF CLOUD STORAGE: Every Google Account comes with 15 GB of storage and you can choose to automatically back up all your photos and videos in Storage saver quality or Original quality. Your photos are safe, secure, and private to you. All photos and videos you backed up in Storage saver quality before June 1, 2021 do not count toward your Google Account storage. *Storage is shared between Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos.
• FREE UP SPACE: Never worry about running out of space on your phone again. Photos that are safely backed up can be removed from your device’s storage in just a tap.
• NO ADS: Google Photos doesn't sell your photos, videos, or personal information to anyone and we don't use your photos and videos for advertising.
• FAST AND POWERFUL SEARCH: Your photos are now searchable by the people, places and things in them—no tagging required.
• GOOGLE LENS: Search what you see. This preview enables you to identify text and objects in your photos to learn more and take action.
• SMARTER SHARING: With smart sharing suggestions, giving your friends the photos you took of them is painless. And they can add their photos, too, so you’ll finally get the photos you’re actually in.
• ADVANCED EDITING: Transform photos with a tap. Use intuitive and powerful photo and video editing tools to apply content-aware filters, adjust lighting, and more.
• MOVIES AND GIFS, MADE FOR YOU: Get automatically created movies, collages, GIFs, and more from your photos. Or easily create them yourself.
• LIVE ALBUMS: Share your latest photos with Live Albums. Select the people and pets you want to see and Google Photos will automatically add photos of them as you take them, no manual updates needed.
• SHARED LIBRARIES: Share without sharing. Grant a trusted person access to all of your photos.
• REDISCOVER: Get collages of photos you took a year ago on this day – perfect for #tbt.
• ON YOUR TV: View your photos and videos on your TV with Chromecast and Airplay support.
You can also upgrade storage for your Google Account, used for Original Quality photos and videos, Google Drive and Gmail by subscribing to Google One, an expanded storage plan. Subscriptions start at $1.99/month for 100 GB in the US. Pricing and availability can vary by region.

Yet Another Awesome Google Product
Free unlimited high-quality photo storage; expandable and affordable full resolution storage space; seamless upload and searching experience. With some more tweaks, this app will be a true force to be reckoned with compared to many other photo storage apps out there. It's so easy to use, you don't really need to do anything more other than to have your photo in the phone itself, a sufficiently stable internet connection, and it will auto upload into the cloud. You can even search for a photo from aeons ago, and probably store your photos for many years to come without having to worry about transferring it elsewhere - unless Google shuts down one day.
Worst photo app.
Just do a simple search online and you’ll see all the negative reviews from everyone. Please read before downloading:
HUGE privacy concerns as the app requires you to allow access to all photos for some reason, even when you just want to edit a few stored photos that you’ve already off loaded to their cloud, there’s no reason to require us to allow access to all photos especially when the photo is no longer on our devices.
Second major issue is even after so many years the albums still don’t sync. You organise the photos in your albums, close the app and open it again and all the photos are no longer sorted in the order you spent HOURS on.
Third issue is how they constantly try and trick you into backing up your entire phone album to the cloud just so you would run out of space and purchase more cloud storage. One wrong click and suddenly you’re out of storage space because you accidentally turned backup on due to their calculated design into tricking you. Worst part is if you want to delete your backup they’ll start deleting the ACTUAL PICTURES on your device.
No one is working on this app anymore, nothing has been done to improve any aspects of this app for years, other than pushing for you to purchase their storage upgrades, and requiring you to give up more of your privacy for no known reasons.
Do not download.
unparalleled quality
rly speechless about how great this app is. The fact that it provides unlimited storage for photos and videos on the cloud for ABSOLUTELY FREE is just iNsAnE. Completely trumps iCloud, so I’m just using this over paying $3 a month. The app is so smart too being able to search for photos by expressions and locations or objects in the images, is really really convenient too. Also, it’s really the small things, like identifying photos that have already been uploaded so they prevent uploading duplicate images, that brings a smile to my face and gives me absolute joy to use this app. As an Apple fanboy, I hate to say it but Google is just superior on this front. Apple, where u at?! 5 Stars any day 🤩
