Google photos backs youe photos up automatically, and its the best option there is to have your memories stored but sometimes it acts strange like takes a lot of time to load and the worst thing is if you delete something from your phone it doesnt delete it there and there isnt an easy option to delete them from back-up either.
Theres good option for editing on the app itself, its pretty good Id say but should be more customisable and have less control over the phones gallery.
