That's what mine does, auto saves to Google photos only. Which I can access from any device, including my ROKU one plugged into TV

It needs separate & deliberate action by me to save to drive

Swipe

On your new phone put a message on the lock screen of a number to call if your phone is lost

You can securely wipe your phone - remotely - if you choose that option - this works as soon as anyone finding it turns it on ....

That is what I would do - if you have any personal data on it

I assume that you had set a pin code to protect it ?

You used to be able to drive I jad drive and photos and some time last year they stopped saving to drive amd just saved to photos as some people got confused and deleted say off drive it would then delete from all like phone drive and photos would be deleted

I didn't have a pin code on my phone and I didn't have that swipe thing either but I have done on my new one.  I've got a bright coloured phone case too so I won't leave it anywhere.

Don't you have to turn on the google drive / photo thing?  I am sure it asked me on this new phone if I wanted things saving.  I must have said no on the other phone.  

Thanks again all for your help.
