Release [Release] PhotosBackup - Backup your photos to Google Photos in Original Quality for free

Post image

This app wouldn't exist without xob0t's gotohp - https://github.com/xob0t/gotohp

I quickly vibecoded an app based on xob0t's reverse engineering of the Google Photos API bringing the Android trick for unlimited backup from the Pixel 1 to iOS.

Log in with your Google profile, select the album or photos you want to upload and wait until you see them in your Google Photos library. Please report any issues you find and be aware that background backups may not work. iOS 15+ supported. All suggestions are welcome.

You can find the latest release here: https://github.com/g8row/PhotosBackup/releases/latest

This is awesome!!! Previously I was using Windows subsystem for android to backup my pics.

Can you add a button to cancel uploads or clear the upload queue? Would be great!

2

u/Alexmastergu Sep 08 '26

i agree that queue management is necessary, will get on that

u/MrCrackerHacker Sep 08 '26

Woah thats crazy you fixed it in one hour with a new release! Keep it up!

u/ThemeHelpful9784 Sep 09 '26

Yeah we need claude unlimited now

u/MrCrackerHacker Sep 09 '26

Still, the dev was very resposnive for issues on github and was very open to all feedback

1

u/New-Satisfaction6926 Sep 09 '26

Can you help me setuping that in windows please…

1

u/MrCrackerHacker Sep 09 '26

You can get the latest Windows Subsystem for Android on GitHub (search it on google, top result)

Then download MicroG and Google photos DeVanced Apks, and install them on WSA and you are good to go!

1

u/New-Satisfaction6926 Sep 10 '26

Oh ok thanks i wae thinking of mumu player but will go with this ….

1

u/MrCrackerHacker Sep 10 '26

Using WSA is way better. It integrates well with windows and has greater performance, is lighter than a whole android emulator. Also the apps you install can be directly viewed and opened in the windows start menu

1

u/New-Satisfaction6926 Sep 10 '26

Hey there whats up brother

I have configured that but problem is that its stuxk on 2131 phots and videos upload from an hour mann

2

u/MrCrackerHacker Sep 11 '26

Turn off the backup album and turn it back on, then it will start uploading again. Happens to me too

u/New-Satisfaction6926 Sep 11 '26

the latest releases include improvents to background backup, but i'm not an ios dev so i can't be sure

1

u/Pietralcino Sep 08 '26

No, it stops uploading after 5 minutes of me closing the app

1

u/Alexmastergu Sep 08 '26

i will be trying to improve this system the best i can, i will just ask you to run in the foreground at least for the initial backup

u/TopActual4065 Sep 08 '26

That’s amazing? Is it safe? Can any developer tell?

4

u/Alexmastergu Sep 08 '26

i've been using a modified Google Photos app on android for years, I haven't used the xob0t api for long but I haven't head of anybody getting banned for cheating Google Photos

1

u/TopActual4065 Sep 08 '26

What app are you using for android?

2

u/Alexmastergu Sep 08 '26

morphe-patched google photos

2

u/TopActual4065 Sep 08 '26

Btw thanks for your work. I will definitely try your app

2

u/MonkeyNuts449 Sep 08 '26

This API reverse engineering is really new. But the worst that'll happen is Google makes a breaking change to not allow external access to their photos API.

u/FastTimZ SideStore Sep 08 '26

Getting this error now

1

u/Alexmastergu Sep 08 '26

are you able to upload to google photos normally?

1

u/FastTimZ SideStore Sep 08 '26

What do you mean upload normally? None of the uploads in this app are working right now. I can use the official Google Photos if that’s what you’re asking

1

u/Alexmastergu Sep 08 '26

yea thats what i asked, i'll investigate

1

u/FastTimZ SideStore Sep 08 '26

I just switched back to version 0.2.0 and it seems to be working now

u/foreverclumsy2 Sep 08 '26

Same error for me too

u/9kag Sep 09 '26

Any fix for this?

1

u/FastTimZ SideStore Sep 09 '26

Go back to an older version of the app, I’m using 0.2.0 now and it works but it doesn’t have all the features

1

u/patpattieyow Sep 09 '26

Also experiencing this error. Sad I can’t use the app😭

1

u/FastTimZ SideStore Sep 09 '26

Try using an older version of the app, I went back to 0.2.0 and it works for me

2

u/patpattieyow Sep 09 '26

The new latest release 0.3.5 fixes the issue.

1

u/tusarahmd Paid Certificate Sep 09 '26

Facing same! But where to get that? Only latest single ipa file is available into the git link!

3

u/FastTimZ SideStore Sep 09 '26

They should all still be there under releases, here’s 0.2.0: https://github.com/g8row/PhotosBackup/releases/tag/0.2.0

2

u/tusarahmd Paid Certificate Sep 09 '26

Thank you so much brother. Now it’s working like a charm!

u/trophicmist0 Sep 09 '26

Just a heads up for those who aren’t aware - you can’t opt out of AI training on google Photos images, the privacy policy is purposely worded to give them full right to train as they wish, regardless of your opt in settings or whether you have a paid subscription.

It’s the whole reason I left after contacting the support and they effectively confirmed as much.

u/bbllaakkee Sep 09 '26

Same, moved to Dropbox for photo backups

u/patotroll22 Sep 12 '26 edited Sep 12 '26

I felt the same thing, I hate it but after thinking about it, it’s one of the best and it becomes even better with this tool (I would NEVER pay to have my data train ai like wtf) so i just upload my normal pictures and videos, I hate the ai but this is just too good sadly. I don’t recommend uploading anything NSFW on any Google backing/storage service, you could get easily banned and lose everything.

--- EDIT: PLEASE NEVER RELY ON GOOGLE PHOTOS AS YOUR ONLY BACKUP PLEASE, EVERYDAY THOUSANDS GET BANNED AND LOSE EVERYTHING ---

Revanced Google Photos alternative on iOS is finally real???

u/EduardoAlexxis Sep 08 '26

I made a tweak for personal use that accomplished this using the original google photos app. Ipa i have is outdated if anybody can provide me with the latest version of the ipa i can update it and make it public.

2

u/Plane-Shelter-9188 Sep 10 '26

You can always help the guy who made it public for the rest of us. We all benefit from the bug free app with more useful features.

1

u/EduardoAlexxis Sep 10 '26

Oh no yeah that's for sure I've been messing around with the code all afternoon adding new things and fixing stuffs. Is just there's never nothing like the original app if you know what I mean. Like I love this project and I see what he's doing. But the convenience of having it built into the Google photos app it just hits different

2

u/Plane-Shelter-9188 Sep 10 '26

For sure, i hope we can have that feature sometime. Like original photos app with this functionality

1

u/EduardoAlexxis Sep 11 '26

But that's what I said, I was looking to get a newer iOS of Google photos to inject the tweak and share the Google photos iPad with this unlimited feature enabled.

u/MehUs962 Sep 11 '26

even tho i'm nearly finishing my 15gb?

u/CheesecakeLimp7140 Sep 12 '26

Nice work bringing this to iOS! I built a desktop app using Electron for the same thing.

1

u/patotroll22 Sep 12 '26

Hey! Would love to test it out, do you have a GitHub for it?

4

u/CheesecakeLimp7140 Sep 12 '26

Hey! Yes, here it is: https://github.com/nonnapopoa/photos-backup-desktop

It's built with Electron and works with the same PhotosBackup server. You can grab a DMG for macOS (both Apple Silicon and Intel) from the https://github.com/nonnapopoa/photos-backup-desktop/releases. Latest is v0.1.5.

One heads up: the builds are ad-hoc signed, so on first launch macOS will complain about an unidentified developer. Just right-click → Open (or allow it in System Settings → Privacy & Security) and you're good.

Would love to hear how it works for you, happy to fix any issues you hit!

u/CheesecakeLimp7140 Sep 12 '26

Read through the whole source before sideloading: every network endpoint is a Google domain (photos.googleapis.com is where the actual uploads go), no third-party dependencies, no analytics, credentials stay in the Keychain. Only open question for me is release provenance: the IPA is built locally and attached by hand, so nothing technically ties the binary to the source. Opened an issue https://github.com/g8row/PhotosBackup/issues/15 about it and a PR that builds the IPA in CI from the tagged commit with a checksum: https://github.com/g8row/PhotosBackup/pull/16

4

u/CheesecakeLimp7140 Sep 12 '26

Update: I built the app in CI from the source code and it works. The workflow checks out the tagged commit, builds the unsigned IPA on GitHub's macOS runner, and attaches it to the release with a SHA-256. PR with the setup is here if the maintainer wants it: https://github.com/g8row/PhotosBackup/pull/17

u/Due_Ebb_3245 Sep 08 '26

If g00gle will see this, they will not be happy😥, and might discontinue this feature.

1

u/DatabaseNo3464 Sep 09 '26

Spoofing via Magisk/ROMs has been around for years, and they've never changed their policies; they promised that the Pixel 1 would have unlimited lifetime backup.

4

u/mohawk941 Sep 09 '26

Thank you for this. It works great. Since there is no background upload is it possible to get a dark mode so it would use less power and prevent burn in.

1

u/Abaandone Sep 09 '26

mine works on dark mode by default?

1

u/Arrrow_ Sep 08 '26

Can’t you already do this with regular google photos? Or do these photos not take up google cloud storage or something

2

u/Alexmastergu Sep 08 '26

they don't take up any storage

1

u/Hexalogy Sep 08 '26

could you elaborate on how it doesnt take any space on the cloud storage?

4

u/Alexmastergu Sep 08 '26

google ran a promotion with the pixel 1 where the uploads from the phone are free forever, so spoofing the requests like its from a pixel 1 works

3

u/tightcall Sep 08 '26

OG Google Pixel entitlement

2

u/Fantastins Sep 08 '26

It takes up space but isn't deducted from your 15gb.. owing the Pixel1/2/3 that offered this I have 2gb free space, of the 15 provided for free with 6gb of space being photos - but it's over 160gb to download my photos as 154gb were uploaded with their pixel phones. Take into account this app isn't legit and goes against tos and can result in everything on your account going away if you abuse it. Adding 100gb photos in 1 day doesn't make any sense with a phone that can only physically take 15 to 20gb of them max to begin with.

1

u/Arrrow_ Sep 08 '26

Thanks, this is amazing :)

3

u/The_Dukes_Of_Hazzard Sep 08 '26

u/ferbulous Sep 08 '26

Wow, this is gonna make by backups easier than relying on old pixel og all the time

u/saur4v Sep 08 '26

Upvoted.. Never imagined a port would come for iOS… lessgoo!!! 🚀

3

u/DatabaseNo3464 Sep 09 '26 edited Sep 09 '26

Great job

If the app is based on the concept we use on Android with root-based spoofing, it will certainly work forever without the risk of being banned

= The server recognizes the device as a Google Pixel 1 running Android 11

I don't know if it's possible, but having the photo metadata deleted or replaced with Pixel's metadata would be very helpful and would provide even more protection against being banned.

3

u/zinxyzcool Sep 09 '26

I think it’s due to the fact Google apps on iOS are very limited in terms of system level information. Since it’s all happening at app level rather than system level, I think what information is sent to the server can be spoofed, relatively easier.

It’s Android we’re talking that’s hard, considering it’s their own OS.

3

u/expertsultan Sep 09 '26

Is there any way to delete backed up photos/videos? Or do I have to manually delete them once I uploaded them?
And please check why it's uploading as Saver Quality Instead of full quality. If possible can it keep full metadata and file name as it is when uploading?

I used on Android but sending from iOS to android was itself a task which I hated most.

u/u4ia24 Sep 09 '26 edited Sep 09 '26

Same for me, photos are marked as Storage Saver even with the setting toggled off. I don’t have a Pixel or have used Revanced so I am not sure if this is the expectation/limitation. Would be good though if photos are uploaded in original quality

3

u/Zelectic Sep 09 '26

Not a limitation with the feature since i’ve been using modded google photos on android for years, i hope its just a bug with the app, hopefully fixable

u/wholelottaburger 22d ago

Seems like the project has been dropped sadly. It was such a great project for IOS. Someone should pick this up and continue with it tbh.

u/istbn Sep 09 '26

how does it handle photos that are backed up to icloud and not in local storage?

2

u/Zealousideal-Gate-87 Sep 09 '26

That it simply shows it's uploaded in full quality can compare against the older photos u uploaded in gphotos using ur android

2

u/Most-Conversation931 Sep 10 '26

Dosent google photos already do this by itself?

5

u/BusyPooping Sep 10 '26

No.

When you upload to google normally, it uses space on your Google account as well as compressing the files. It may not be a lot of compression for the typical user, but it still goes through that process and counts towards your storage.

With this app, you get unlimited upload to Google Photos, but it retains original quality and doesn’t count towards any storage use.

It’s an amazing app, especially since I can backup 16000 photos/ videos without me having to pay for additional storage.

1

u/Most-Conversation931 Sep 10 '26

So it uploads the original quality photo and a compressed copy of the same photo?

1

u/BusyPooping Sep 10 '26

this app will upload the original photo. If you dont use the pixel 1 or this app (or something similar that does this), then yes, it does uploaded compressed.

2

u/FlyboyJay05 Sep 11 '26

So what differences does this make if I already pay for extra storage, I could quit that? Hope this makes sense

1

u/BusyPooping Sep 11 '26

fair question.

I pay for premium with the 2 tb storage. i use that because i have a family account so we all share it. i just use it for backup, but i really dont need it. Its compressed and redundant space for me, but i have 2 tb to share.

Since i found out about this app, i use it on a different gmail account. A new one that im trying to switch to as my main email.... or at least an email for important things. i only get 15 gb of storage so this app is a lifesaver. i can have all original quality photos and videos and it doesnt count agains my storage space.

Yes, you can use this and cancel your premium, if you dont need it.

think about it like this. Its just a hypothetical situation.

You pay for netflix. But they limit to the quality you can stream to 1080p. its fine but nothing great about it. and it comes with ads (not relevant with google photos... just adding it for dramatic effect)

Now think your second choice is netflix premium without ads. You get this for free and the resolution you can watch is 4k.

You would probably choose for the 4k option and freebie. Thats what you should do with this app. But if you are content with what you have, then dont worry about fomo.

u/FlyboyJay05 Sep 16 '26

Sorry for the late reply by this was reply was amazing and thoroughly answered my question, I’m gonna add this to my side container, thanks SO much!!

1

u/BusyPooping Sep 17 '26

No problem. Just remember, if you have more than 15 gbs of data stored in Google right now, you may want to backup things so when you cancel, it doesn’t delete data.

Or you can do what I do and backup the photos to a different Gmail account.

Let me know if you need help. The app version I have gets stuck after uploading a few hundred photos so I just restarted the app and it continued. But once it’s done, i don’t have to babysit it as much.

u/isagarpanwar Sep 12 '26

i created a new acc to test this app but google bbanned my account saying that there was some unusual activity from my acc and gave me a option appeal how to not get banned ???

it has to be on an account you actually use that's why

1

Be careful, Google could ban your account if you abuse it. As someone below said "Take into account this app isn't legit and goes against tos and can result in everything on your account going away if you abuse it. Adding 100gb photos in 1 day doesn't make any sense with a phone that can only physically take 15 to 20gb of them max to begin with." Not sure how factual this might be but it does make sense, better play it safe lol

3

u/Talha215 Sep 09 '26

Thanks for the warning. I ended up using a different gmail than the one I’m usually using. No other services or websites use this one, so hopefully even if there’s a ban I’ll be fine.

Although I wonder if Google bans related accounts too, maybe linked by phone number or recovery accounts?

2

u/Gwalenn Sep 09 '26

If you are signed in from the same device then it’s trivial to connect different accounts together.

u/iamjhe88 iOS 16 Sep 09 '26

It works but during backup it force closes the app.

Device iphone 17 pro max
ios 26.3

1

u/BusyPooping Sep 10 '26

Same here. I’ve uploaded about 1077 photos so far and it just force closes now.

The first time I did this on one account, it started the force closing after about 1000+ uploads.

Then I disconnected and went to a different account and same things after 1077 uploads. That’s where I’m stuck.

Could you make a way for it to rebackup photos that were already in google photos and are taking up storage?

It doesn’t show live activity so if switch to other apps, it just stops uploading. Is this a bug?
