Many iOS users won’t be aware of Andriod built-in applications. Apps like YouTube, Gmail, Google Maps, Hangouts are essential to all. In iOS devices or iPhones, you have to install these apps manually from the Apple App Store. Even though iOS users have pre-installed Photos apps to view and save photos, you may need the Google Photos app in some situations. If your iOS memory gets fulled, instead of deleting the photos, you can install Google Photos on iPhone or iPad and move your photos to your Google drive.
With Google Photos, you can easily sync the photos to your Google drive. In the iOS Photos app, all the files will be saved on iCloud. But what if the iCloud went out of storage? You need to look for other options. Buying extra storage from Apple costs you money. Using Google Photos is the wisest and economical choice you have. By default, you’ll get 15GB of storage for free. The sync and backup process on Google Photos is not that difficult.
