How will Loom upload those photos captured during offline on iPhone? I suppose Loom will upload the full resolution pictures to their cloud. Since third party app is not able to do background task unlike Photo app/Photostream/iCloud, that means Loom app needs to be on in order to perform the upload? In that case it would not be seamless as I need to consciously 'upload' my photos before I can access them on the web.

We're also building Loom to be better at browsing, managing and sending photos than Apple's Photos app - once you use Loom as your primary photo library, things fall into place.
