Your photos aren't backing up to Google Photos
Google Photos backup stopped because you're not on WiFi, backup is paused in settings, or your cloud storage is full. Check WiFi, turn on backup in settings, and make sure you have storage space.
Google Photos uploads your photos to the cloud automatically when you're on WiFi. If backup stops, your photos stay only on your phone, meaning if your phone is lost or broken, you lose those photos. Backup stops when you're on mobile data, backup is paused, cloud storage is full, or your Google Account isn't syncing.
