Google Photos vs MyHeritage Mobile App

Google Photos is a service for editing, organizing, searching, backing up, and sharing photos and videos. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web. A Google Account includes 15 GB shared among Photos, Gmail, and Drive at no cost; Original quality backups use that storage. Users can back up media automatically or manually, and share photos, videos, and albums with people who do not use Google Photos. The app lists AI editing tools including Magic Eraser and Photo Unblur. It supports full-resolution RAW image backup and cloud storage for 4K video. Google lists paid monthly plans including Basic at $1.99 a month for 100 GB, Google AI Plus at $9.99 a month for 2 TB, and Google AI Pro at $19.99 a month for 5 TB; each allows up to five additional people. The natural-language search example is limited to eligible US users aged 18 or older who meet specified language and settings requirements. Google says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and users can delete or export their content.

MyHeritage Mobile App helps people build family trees, investigate family history and share family photos and discoveries with relatives. Users can add people to a tree and edit family members’ details from the app. It also provides mobile access to MyHeritage’s search engine and billions of records, including family trees, vital records, immigration and military records, censuses and newspapers. Some records are free to view; others require a MyHeritage data subscription. Users can upload photos from their devices to a family site, review Smart Matches and Record Matches, and add finds from Instant Discoveries. Basic family sites are free, with a limit of 250 people across the site’s trees and 500 MB of storage. Guests are automatically prevented from seeing sensitive details about living family members, though owners can adjust privacy settings. The app is available on Android, iOS and web. The newest version requires Android 4.1 or later or iOS 9.0 or later, plus a touch screen and high-definition display.
