Anyone else have the same problem? I activated the photo backup which works more or less but only when I have the app open. I would expect it to backup taken images automatically. Why should I keep the app open for that?

I just tested it on android it does backups in the background for me on android 14 as long as I have it unrestricted on app battery usage if it's restricted it won't upload in the background make sure you have it unrestricted so it can run in the background.

I wish that was an option on iOS. It’s annoying having to keep the app open.

Yeah that is a limitation of iOS because Apple is so aggressive with background tasks most photos apps don't upload in the background unless you only use iCloud.
