Google announced the end of the Google+ Photos service on August 1st. Termination of service was expected after presentation of standalone Google Photos app that allows iOS and Android users to save all photos and video them, regardless of their analysis.
So Google announced that starting with 1 August will start shutting down the photo service on its Google + social network, first for Android devices, and then on Web and iOS platforms.
Those who are still using Google + Photos would be good to change service and use the new Google Photos app that's been available in May for Android and iOS users.
You should also be aware that all your photos and videos will still be available and will be available after the service ends in the new standalone Google Photos application.
So you do not have to backup.
