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.

I'm currently in the process of learning to set up Immich on a home server. That will take care of automatic backup and indexing and searching. My family won't engage to use this though, so they're still going to send me Google photos links for sharing.

For touchups, I do that on device with an image editing app it needed. Although I never need to edit really.

By indexing is that by fine name and meta data or does it do face and location matching like Google. I know I'm moving goalposts but that's the real killer feature IMO.
