Google today announced it will shut down Google+ Photos to make way for its new standalone Google Photos app that went live just a few months ago in late May.
The search-giant will begin shutting down the older photos service starting August 1, first on Android, with the web and iOS options following soon after.
How to get Google Photos
If you're switching from Google+ Photos to Google Photos, you'll find all your videos, photos and albums already saved on the standalone app.
Google Photos is available on iOS and Android, and you can also access it via the web through your Google log in.
"You may have seen a prompt in Google+ Photos on Android with a link to download the new Google Photos," the search-giant wrote in a Goolge+ post.
Google also said that if you don't update to the new Google Photos app, "your photos and videos will still remain safely stored and available via http://photos.google.com or for export using Google Takeout." Good know.
