Google One now backs up texts, ‘original quality’ photos, and videos on Android

The search giant today announced that subscribers to Google One, a subscription service that offers expanded cloud storage, can now take advantage of a whole-phone backup solution for Android that automatically copies videos, multimedia messages (MMS), and uncompressed photos to Google’s datacenters.

But wait, you might say, doesn’t Google already offer a free backup solution for Android?
Google One doesn’t touch photos before uploading them, and it throws in the aforementioned text messages backup at no extra charge.
As you might recall, Google One plans rolled out in May as replacements to Google Drive storage upgrades.

With Google One, Google kept the free 15GB ceiling and the starting 1GB plan but added a 200GB tier to the mix that costs $2.99 per month, plus a new 2TB plan for $9.99 per month.

Google One expands phone backup to all accounts, iPhone app is coming ‘soon’

Google is introducing a handful of upgrades to its Google One service today, including free automatic phone backup and a new dedicated iPhone app.
The internet giant launched its Google One program two years ago, serving as a replacement to the existing Google Drive storage plans.
Backup
Last year, Google rolled out a new phone backup tool, enabling Google One members on Android to manually or automatically save the entirety of their device, including contacts, apps, texts, and photos, videos, and multimedia messages (MMS) to the cloud.
This automatic backup service will now be made available to anyone who uses the Google One app, regardless of whether they have an active Google One membership.

It’s clear to see how this is designed to encourage more users to upgrade, given that the 15GB of free storage that comes with a Google Account will likely not be enough for millions of people who have years’ worth of photos and videos stored on their phones.

Google One on iPhone
Before now, iPhone users could only upgrade to a One membership via the Google Drive or Google Photos app, but shortly they will have their own standalone Google One mobile app too, through which they can manage their membership and back up their photos, videos, contacts, and calendar events directly to Google’s cloud.

Google said that the new features will be arriving in its Android app “in the coming days,” with the iOS app rolling out to the App Store “soon.”
