Literal Hostage Situation (europe.pub)

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.

Easy way to backup your photos, create shared albums and it has nice "this time year ago" memories stuff.

Just like the standard app. Again, no added benefit.

And do your friends who use Android use the standard app too?

We’re talking Google photos on iOS

And that also works and is used by people on Android. But you said the "standard app" is a good alternative on iOS but do people on Android use it, so you can actually benefit from shared albums and such?
