Automatically sync your favorite photos between Apple Photos and Google Photos.
How it works
- Your favorite (heart) photos in Apple Photos become favorites in Google Photos.
- Your favorite (star) photos in Google Photos become favorites in Apple Photos.
- If you unfavorite photos in Google Photos, it unfavorites photos in Apple Photos, and vice versa.
Tip: You must use an iOS device for this feature.

Tips:
