Google has officially announced the Google Photos app as a standalone app after ripping it off Google +. The app is currently already available for Android , iOS and Web.
Google Photos has undergone an overhauling process and it is back with a bang. The service which stores and backup photos and videos now offers unlimited storage space for both high quality photos and videos, all for free.

Videos above 1080p would also be compressed while the quality will not affected. Users with paid Google Drive accounts can choose to save their photos and videos in its full resolution no matter the size.
