I wonder if this is the crux of the matter. It doesn't work when the app hasn't been started in the first place, right? I don't know how Google Photos does it, but I'm pretty sure they have solved syncing without having to remember to open the app. I half wonder whether they achieve this by showing constant notifications about "look what happened x years ago" or "look at this new collage" that gets people to click on it and actually start the app.
