What "automatic backup" really means

A backup photos app like GramPhoto continually sends the photos and videos on your device to an off-device copy — the cloud. The point isn't a prettier gallery; it's that your memories no longer live in exactly one place. If you lose your phone, your library survives, because a copy exists somewhere else.

The sync mechanism, step by step

  1. You install and sign in. GramPhoto asks for permission to read your photos and media, which it needs to see what's on your device.
  2. It scans your library. The app builds a list of the photos and videos you've chosen to back up.
  3. Uploads are encrypted in transit. Files move from your device to the cloud over an encrypted connection, so they're protected while travelling.
  4. The cloud copy becomes your library. Once uploaded, each photo and video lives in your synced library, not just on the device.
  5. Everything stays in sync. Sign in on another device and the same library is there. New photos you take keep getting backed up automatically.

Encrypted in transit — what that covers

"Encrypted in transit" means the connection between your device and the cloud is secured, so the data can't be read while it's travelling. We're honest about the scope: it covers the upload path. It's not a claim that your stored files are encrypted with keys only you hold — we don't say that, because that's not what ships today.

Storage limits

We won't invent a number we can't stand behind. Today, GramPhoto doesn't sell tiers by storage size and doesn't cap the photos and videos you can back up. If the service hosting your library ever enforces a limit, we'll tell you plainly on this page before it affects your backups.

Cross-device access

Because your library lives in the cloud, it's not tied to one phone. Sign in on another Android device and your backed-up photos are available there — which is exactly the point of running a backup in the first place.

Sharing albums to Telegram

Once an album is synced, you can share it to Telegram directly from the app. That's a sharing feature on top of the backup — it doesn't require emails, downloads, or resending files one at a time.

Free plan and Premium

The free plan includes the full automatic backup, and it displays ads. A paid Premium plan that removes ads is planned, and we'll announce details when it's ready. We won't advertise Premium as if it exists today.
