If you want to turn on automatic backup, open the Google Photos app on your Android phone or tablet and sign in to your Google Account. Tap on your account profile photo or initial at the top right corner and select “Photos settings” followed by “Backup” and then tap “Backup On/Off” depending on whether you want backup enabled or not.

Once you’ve enabled automatic backup, all new images and videos taken with your camera will be automatically backed up in the cloud so they can be easily accessed from any device connected to the internet. You can also manually back up existing images from other sources such as digital cameras or memory cards by clicking on “Backup & Sync” in settings within the Google Photos app for Android or iOS devices (or via web browser).

Google Photos makes it incredibly easy for users to manage their photos across devices without having to worry about losing them due to hardware failure or accidental deletion of files.
