- Google is working on a feature in the Photos app that will automatically back up newly created folders.
- The feature will appear as an on/off toggle in the Device folder settings.
- This feature was found in version 6.81.0.628906483 of the Google Photos app.
When using the Google Photos app, you can choose whether you want to back up a folder or not. The problem is, however, this has to be done manually for each folder you want to be saved in the cloud. But if you wish this could be done automatically, you may soon get your wish.
Android Authority discovered that the latest version of the Google Photos app (v6.81.0.628906483) appears to introduce a new “Back up new folders” feature. The feature appears as an on/off toggle and is accompanied by a description that reads “Automatically turn on backup when a new folder is added.”
