There seems to be a day for everything these days, so why not for photos?

According to Photutorial, 1.2 trillion photos were taken worldwide in 2021. This number will increase to 1.72 trillion in 2022. Citing a report from Statista in 2017, 85 percent of photos were taken from smartphones. This figure grew to 92.5 percent today, as smartphones are in the hands of billions of people.

Smartphones have made it easier to appreciate photography, capturing the perfect moment, and galvanize memories.

While National Photography Day is focused on capturing the perfect shot from your smartphone or camera, it raises a larger question…

What would happen to all your photos if your phone was lost, stolen, or inadvertently dropped in the pool?

In 2022, the average smartphone contains 2,100 photos, according to Photutorial. That is a lot of memories that can vanish faster than the shutter speed of your smartphone’s camera. If you are not using a cloud service to backup the photos on your smartphone, it might be time to consider one. And if you are, double-check to be sure your photos are synching to the cloud.
