AT&T’s Awesome Photo Storage Service Is Shutting Down

If you are one of the few to know and take advantage of the AT&T photos storage function, which is a free cloud backup option similar to Google Photos or iCloud, we have bad news. This week, AT&T and its partner Asurion announced that the service would stop operating in October.

Propelled by Asurion, the storage of photos of AT&T offers unlimited full -scale backups (according to your mobile plan) and is extremely useful. My plan obtains unlimited actual backups, but some users can only have 5 or 10 GB, or options to pay more storage. It is essentially like any other backup service, only for many, it is completely free and unlimited.

The storage of AT&T photos is available for iOS or Android, and if you have benefited for years, it will disappear from application stores and stop saving your files from October 20, 2025.

Transfer your photos or video by February 2026

Although this is the bad news, we have a little good news. Of course, by the end of October, anyone with Auto-Backup noted that the service does not back down and records all of their photos and videos. At that time, it will be removed from application stores. Fortunately, although it no longer supports your content, you really have until February 1, 2026 to export your photos and videos to another service.

Yes, the service will officially die on February 1, 2026And if you have not saved your cloud storage content elsewhere, they will be deleted forever. The service stops permanently on this date. If you wait and miss the deadline, your cloud storage will be unrealizable.

In the meantime, AT&T and Asurion have a useful guide on how to keep your things. Users must connect to the AT&T web gallery, create an archive or download and export their entire photo / video collection. It should be mentioned that during the archive export process, the service will create 5 GB download files at a time. So if you have tons of recorded content, it could take some time and several downloads.

Your best bet is to transfer everything from your Cloud AT & T photo storage to a computer, as you will probably not have enough space on your phone. From there, you can then use iCloud, Google Photos or one of the many cloud storage alternatives available these days. And well, the time could be the perfect time to try Google Photos, because it is filled with features and now has a bunch of new treated AI tools to transform the photos into video. Just make sure you have enough storage or pay for an additional space.
