Last I tried Immich its background upload was horrible.

Some of that is definitely iOS being bad, but other apps at least semi-worked when Immich didn’t at all.

I might try it again, though. See if it’s improved.

They mentioned "better background backups" as a enhancement as since version 1.141.1 which was released on 9/8/2025. Personally I just started testing it after v2.0 so I'm not sure how bad it was previously but have not seen any significant issues with backup.

When I used iOS, background upload seemed to work okay. On both iOS and Android, though, I occasionally go into the app to manually backup since both like to kill background processes to save on battery life.

I honestly have no idea if the iOS app works properly.
