Google photos on ios is literally a hostage situation. Remove key functionalities like copying an image or editing an image unless you give them full unrestricted access to your entire photo library. (The holy grail of surveillance capitalism data). Data extortion masquerading as a service.
You can literally disable iCloud and still use it all. No privacy standards will matter, it’ll stay in your device.
That’s not what I want. I want it infexed and searchable, backed up, and easily shareable.
It is indexed and searchable locally, you can share with the share button to anywhere you like.
It just won’t be backed up to iCloud.
