Google Photos is one of the most widely used apps today for securely storing photos and videos in the cloud. The app offers automatic backup, relieving users of the worry of losing their data. But now, there's news that Google Photos may soon help save your phone's battery life as well.

A new battery saver feature has been spotted in the APK teardown of the beta version of Google Photos. This feature was revealed in a report by Android Authority. According to the report, this new option will limit photo and video syncing in the background, thereby reducing the phone's battery consumption.

When this battery saver feature is enabled, the Google Photos app will not constantly run in the background. This means that automatic backup of photos and videos may slow down or be temporarily paused. This will benefit users who don't need constant background syncing and want better battery life.

However, enabling this feature might also affect features like multi-device syncing. This means that photos won't sync instantly across multiple devices. But for many users, this won't be a major problem, as they can manually back up their photos when needed.

Launch is still some time away…
Currently, this feature is in the development stage, and it's not yet confirmed whether Google will release it to all users. It is expected that the company will first test it with beta users and then make a decision based on their feedback.
If this feature is officially launched, it could prove very useful for users who prioritize battery life. Overall, this new step by Google Photos can be considered a good effort towards improving phone performance and battery balance.
