Google Photos may soon tell you just how long your backups will take (APK teardown)
No more guessing how much longer until all your pics are stored safely in the cloud!
- Google is working on some big UI changes for Photos, including Material 3 Expressive elements.
- We’re also seeing work on a new interface for more prominently indicating what’s going on with backups.
- Those banners now include an actual ETA on how long until your backups are done.
What’s the most valuable thing on your phone? Sure, the phone itself is probably worth a whole chunk of change, but that’s replaceable. For a whole lot of us, it’s probably the photos we capture with our cameras — and the memories they represent — that we’re most afraid of losing. That’s exactly why cloud backup solutions like the one that Google has baked into its Photos app are so popular, affording us some much-appreciated peace of mind. Right now, we’re looking into some work Google’s been up to that appears to do a better job at communicating just how Photos is managing our picture backups.
