Keep your eyes peeled for major changes to the Photos app and experience this week. A little birdie tells us that Google is preparing to shake things up, and all could be revealed in a few days. The changes will reportedly involve Photos and the associated auto-backup features currently built into Google+. What could it be?

We recently uncovered some evidence in an APK Teardown that the auto-backup functionality could be moving into the Google Drive app. That would certainly qualify as a major change. As for the Photos app itself, it might be split off from Google+ and become its own app, possibly with a listing in the Play Store.

The upcoming change could also be something completely different, though. We'll have to wait and see what materializes, but it should be an interesting week.
