Thanks to backup services like iCloud, I never have to worry about losing precious memories. In the past, if I had to rush into my burning house to save anything, my photo albums would be rescued immediately after everything with a heartbeat. Today the cloud (and maybe common sense) keeps me from risking my life. If you’re using one of Apple’s best iPhones with Apple Photos, you likely agree, but I strongly recommend adding Google Photos to your routine if you want more than basic backup.
You may think that Apple’s ecosystem is great, and it’s probably more than enough. When I take a photo on my iPhone, it shows up everywhere: on my iPad, my Mac Mini, and even on my Apple TV. What more could I ask for? If I need to share my photos, I can do that from my phone, and if I’m sharing with another iPhone user, I can AirDrop, which couldn’t be easier.
