Given that Apple already has backup options for all those things (albeit with a paltry free 5GB of iCloud storage), it wouldn’t surprise me if this feature mostly goes unnoticed.
iPhone users can manage their phone backups through a new Google One app that’s coming out soon it’ll store photos, videos, contacts and calendar events in your Google account. That’ll likely be tight for a lot of people, but if you aren’t using Drive or Photos much it should be workable. This means that people who aren’t paying for Google One’s extra Drive storage will have their base 15GB to split between Gmail, Drive, Photos and now phone backups. And whether you use an Android device or iPhone, the phone backup feature will be free for everyone, regardless of whether or not you have a Google One subscription.
It made sense for Google to bake that feature right into Android, but today the company announced it’ll soon do the same for iPhone users as well. Last year, Google added automatic Android phone backups to Google One, the company’s “membership” program that includes Drive storage, family sharing and a handful of other perks.
