I recently download the new Google Photos app for iOS, and I noticed that my photos are only uploaded when I have the app opened and in focus.
Background app refresh is on for the app.
Is there another setting I can tweak to make it upload even when I'm not using it? Otherwise I need to remember to open it from time to time to have my pictures safely backed up.
Is this a limitation in iOS that cannot be worked around? Is it something that should be programmed in the app itself and it's not?

Simply make sure the app refresh feature is enabled for Google Photos, enable auto-sync and when you're on wifi AND your phone is plugged in to a power source...it will continue to backup. Main issue people have is not having your iPhone plugged in. :)
