How to Enable Backup & Sync in Google Photos
To add the pictures in your Photos app to the Google Photos app, you first need to enable the automatic sync option. Here’s how to do it.
Step 1: Download and open the Google Photos app on your iPhone. Tap your account picture in the top-right corner and select Google Photos settings.
Step 2: Tap on Backup & sync option and enable the toggle for Backup & sync. You can tap the Upload size option to select your preferred quality for uploads.
Once you do this, Google Photos will begin to sync the pictures from the Apple Photos library. This might take a while, depending on the number of photos and videos you have on your iPhone.
How to Sync Apple Photos Favorites to Google Photos
The Apple Photos app allows you to mark certain photos as favorites, making it easier to find them without scrolling through your entire photo library. Fortunately, you don’t need to add these favorites again in Google Photos. Google Photos can automatically sync your favorites from Apple Photos. Here’s what you need to do:
Step 1: Open the Google Photos app on your iPhone. Tap your account picture in the top-right corner and select Google Photos settings.
Step 2: Scroll down to Apple Photos and enable Sync Favorites toggle.
Your Apple Photos favorites will appear in Library > Favorites in the Google Photos app.
How to Remove Uploaded Google Photos Media From iPhone
iCloud offers a handy feature that allows you to remove media files from your phone storage once they’ve been backed up, helping to free up space on your device. Google Photos also provides a similar function, which we highly recommend using if you’re dealing with low storage space on your iPhone.
Step 1: Open the Google Photos app on your iPhone. Tap your account picture in the top-right corner and select Google Photos settings.
Step 2: Tap on the Manage device storage menu.
Step 3: Select the Free up space button. Google Photos will remove photos and videos on your iPhone that are already part of a backup.
