  • Google is working on a new onboarding/setup screen for Google Photos.
  • The new screen offers a toggle to use mobile data, clarifies backup quality, and emphasizes your profile photo.
  • This should make life a little easier when first setting up Google Photos on a device.

We’ve spotted plenty of changes and tweaks to Google Photos in the last few months. Now, it looks like the photo backup app is getting a notable UI change for new users or people upgrading to a new Android phone.
