Capturing memories has never been easier—yet keeping them safe is a growing challenge. We snap thousands of photos and videos, but they’re often scattered across devices, vulnerable to loss, or forgotten in crowded storage.
Accidental deletions, phone damage or loss, and limited device storage are all too common. One wrong tap or unexpected glitch can mean the loss of irreplaceable moments. Koofr offers a smarter solution: automatic photo and video backup to secure cloud storage.

App in the Foreground Uploads on iOS
On iOS devices, the Koofr app must remain open and active in the foreground for your photos and videos to auto-upload. If you switch to another app or lock your phone, the upload process will pause until Koofr is active again.
Note: The same principle applies to all file uploads on iOS, not just photos and videos. The Koofr app must remain open for uploads to complete.
Tips for Seamless iOS Photo Backup with Koofr Cloud
Here’s how to get the most out of Koofr’s auto-upload feature on your iOS device:
- Leave the App Open: When performing a large backup (like your full photo library), keep the Koofr app open and active in the foreground. For best results, do this overnight while your device is connected to Wi-Fi and charging. Please note that you need to keep the app open and active for any uploads to work on iOS.
- Charge Your Device: Backing up big batches of media files can take time and energy. To avoid interruptions, plug your device into a charger while uploads are in progress.
- Open Periodically: Make a habit of opening the Koofr app once or twice a day. This allows new photos and videos to be uploaded consistently without needing to manually select files.
