TL;DR
- Google Photos is preparing an “Overnight backup” feature to work around background backup delays caused by Android background limits like Doze mode.
- The feature will require keeping the app open in the foreground, plugging the phone into a charger, and leaving the device unlocked, while the app dims your screen to black.
- We’ve also spotted warnings for when the device gets too hot, as well as toggles for Wi-Fi or mobile data usage.
Google Photos is one of the best cloud backup options for photos and videos on Android, especially if you prefer a set-and-forget approach (as long as you have free storage). However, Google doesn’t give you much control over when these cloud backups are actually undertaken, and you’ll also find yourself restricted by Android’s background limits in some instances. Google is now preparing a dedicated workaround: an upcoming “Overnight backup” feature designed to keep uploads running at full speed while you sleep.
