immich is pretty cool its like google photos but not holding your email at ransom because your storage is full thanks to newer google pixel phones no longer giving you free backup storage

also they have apps for ios and android that do backups
just keep in mind youll need to manually enable notifications depending on your android version (not necessarily an app problem, but more an android problem, background tasks get killed if no notification)
and unlike most other ones you only have to pay if you want to support, which i likely will do when im more financially ok, all features are enabled by default and the interface and everything is pretty neat
I'm glad I've had like a TB of OneDrive storage for like a decade or more to keep all my phone photos backed up over the years no matter what phone I've had
Set it up, it's one of my most used and most appreciated services I selfhost
Thankfully I have some free space
(found a really good deal for 12 TB Seagate drives)

also they have a tool to move from google photos all your takeout too (immich-go)
also no subscription or anything needed to pay to setup just a random computer lying around
and this is a pretty good guide for importing from google photos:
