Automatic Backup
Overview
Immich supports uploading photos and videos from your mobile device to the server automatically.
When backup is enabled, Immich will upload new photos and videos from selected albums when you open or resume the app, as well as periodically in the background.

Platform Specific Features
General
By default, Immich will only upload photos and videos when connected to Wi-Fi. You can change this behavior in the backup settings page.

Android
<img src={require('./img/android-backup-options.webp').default} width="500px" title="Upload button" />
- It is a well-known problem that some Android models are very strict with battery optimization settings, which can cause a problem with the background worker. Please visit Don't kill my app for a guide on disabling this setting on your phone.
- You can allow the background task to run when the device is charging.
- You can set the minimum delay from the time a photo is taken to when the background upload task will run.
iOS
- You must enable Background App Refresh for the app to work in the background. You can enable it in the Settings app under General > Background App Refresh.
- iOS automatically manages background tasks; the app cannot control when the background upload task will run. The more frequently you open the app, the more often background tasks will run.
