APK Teardown Finds Revamped Google Photos Backup Settings With Possible Scheduling Option

An examination of version 7.58.0.853810532 suggests a redesign under Material 3 Expressive and hints at a backup schedule control that Google has not yet confirmed or dated.

Overview

  • Tech outlets analyzing the Google Photos app code report a refreshed Backup page using Material 3 Expressive design.
  • The page appears reorganized into clear sections labeled How to back up, What to back up, and Backup tools.
  • Controls such as Backup Mode, Backup quality, and Back up device folder are shown as individual containers in the new layout.
  • An entry labeled Backup schedule was discovered and could let users choose specific times or frequencies for uploads, but its behavior remains unclear.
  • Google has not announced the redesign or any rollout timeline, and the scheduling feature is unconfirmed and not yet functional in the app.
