Google Photos Beta Reveals Battery Saver Feature: Here's How It Works

  • An APK teardown of the Google Photos beta app reveals a new battery-saving feature under development.
  • The feature, when enabled, throttles background syncs for photos and videos, conserving phone battery.
  • Users can manually sync media, making this option appealing for those who don't need continuous background activity.
  • Enabling the battery saver also disables multi-device sync, a minor compromise for extended battery life.
  • The feature's public release is uncertain, but it's hoped Google will test it with beta users for feedback.
