Google announced that it is releasing a new back up tool, that can be used by iOS device owners to save data. Previously google added a similar feature for Android users, where they could back up their device to Google One. However, creating a backup tool for iPhone users will mean that the majority of smartphone owners will be able to back up their device with Google, and it will be accessible without a Google One subscription.
Google also released a Google One application for iOS users, which will be equipped with storage management features. Storage management features will help users efficiently manage files from their devices. Google one also has a membership plan where customers pay $2 each month for 100GB of cloud storage.
