Credit: Shimul Sood / Android Authority TL;DR We’re bringing you a preview of Google Photos’ upcoming Overnight backup option. The feature would let you back up media while you sleep or when the phone isn’t in use. It keeps the app running in the foreground and keeps the screen active, but without any manual intervention. Countless people rely on Google Photos to ensure their memories stay handy and accessible, irrespective of which device they use or how often they switch devices. But backing up Google Photos is time-consuming and can often stop midway unless you ensure you keep the app running actively. This can be a hassle if you have hundreds or thousands of photos or videos. Google knows that and is working on an option to keep the phone active so the backup continues without issues.
