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.
That’s what you get for using a Google product.
This is actually an iOS issue, their permissions aren’t fine-grained enough so every photo app would need access to the whole photo library. The reason people don’t notice this is because Apple Photos has access by default
That doesn’t matter. Why are they using Google products with an iPhone?
Apple and giving their own software priviledged access and denying/revoking that priveledge from their competitors. Name a more iconic duo. See also Tile, Pebble, Spotify, etc.
