- The “Backup only favorites” setting in the Android version of the Google Photos app disappeared between late March and early April 2026.
- Its existence was first confirmed in the app files of Google Photos for Android v7.39, released around late August 2025, and it was rolled out a few months later around January 2026.
- As it was only deployed to some Android devices and not widely released, it is likely that this was merely a test rollout.
Around January 2026, the online photo library service “Google Photos” introduced a new setting in its Android app called “Backup only favorites,” which automatically backs up only the photos and videos marked with a “★ (favorite)” to Google cloud storage.
It appears that this “Backup only favorites” setting in the Android Google Photos app disappeared between late March and early April 2026.
The “Backup only favorites” setting in the Android Google Photos app was first discovered in the app files of version 7.39, released in late August 2025, and began rolling out a few months later, around January 2026. However, since it was only deployed to a limited number of Android devices and not widely available, it is possible that it was strictly a test deployment.
Furthermore, in addition to the “Backup only favorites” setting, a “Backup schedule” feature, which allows users to set backup frequencies such as [Daily] or [Weekly], has also been confirmed in the app files, though its rollout has not yet been observed.
